About The Gender Lab

113 million adolescent girls are an invisible population in India. Due to socio-cultural practices and conditioning, they are denied autonomy and a chance to discover their potential. The Gender Lab is changing this narrative by empowering adolescent girls in schools with 21st century skills to become changemakers in their community and break gender stereotypes they live in . We deliver this through a fellowship of young women from across India who have themselves battled gender bias growing up. They mentor these girls through 10 months and in turn build leadership and self awareness. Through this work, we also realized the need of engaging adolescent boys as allies. We create a safe space for them in schools to build awareness around gender, redefine masculinity and engage them in community action. We believe that through this process we promote the voice, agency and leadership of girls and women in India. Our work is currently being delivered under the following verticals : 1) Empowering Adolescent Girls : this includes the Avanti Young Women Leadership Program in Mumbai, Delhi and Jind (Haryana) 2) Empowering Women : includes The Gender Lab Fellowship (Mumbai and Jind, Haryana) and the alumni community 3) Redefining Masculinities : this includes our work with adolescent boys (TGL Boys Program) and educators through How We Raise Our Boys program.
