What started as a student-led initiative has evolved into a youth-powered nonprofit operating across six states, leading community-driven programs that advance women's rights, public dialogue, and grassroots research. We centre lived experience, shift power, and build structures that last.
Her Haq was born from a sense of discontent and hope. Discontent with the way policy conversations too often exclude the people most affected. And hope that there could be a better way, one that starts with listening, not prescribing. What began as a small student-led initiative quickly grew into a youth-powered nonprofit with a clear mission: to centre the voices of women and girls in shaping the systems that impact their lives. From the very beginning, our work has been grounded in one simple belief—those closest to the problem should lead the way in solving it.
At Her Haq, we work at the intersection of grassroots lived experience and systemic change. We research, convene, and co-create solutions with communities who are too often spoken for instead of spoken with. Our projects span digital safety workshops, community-led research, legal advocacy, and public convenings like Haq Summit and Charcha, which bring together experts, policymakers, and citizens in collective dialogue. We aim to be positively disruptive, pushing back against outdated systems while working constructively with decision-makers to close the gaps that perpetuate inequality. Our goal isn't just to critique what exists, but to help build what's missing: inclusive, accountable, and feminist structures that respond to the real needs of real people.
We are not here to lead from above but to work alongside stakeholders. Her Haq is a bridge between communities and institutions, between everyday realities and systemic reform. And we are just getting started.
At Her Haq, we don't drop in with solutions, we build alongside. Our process is iterative, grounded, and deeply human.
We hold space for women and girls to share what is missing, what is working, and what needs to change. This is the foundation of every intervention we design.
We develop tools, workshops, and resources with our communities. Our solutions are practical, participatory, and grounded in real needs.
Through Haq Summit, Charcha, and small-format gatherings, we convene communities, experts, and institutions to listen, reflect, and imagine solutions together.
We take what we learn on the ground and translate it into evidence, campaigns, and conversations that push for better laws, safer platforms, and more inclusive systems.
We know communities shift, needs evolve, and systems resist. That is why our work remains adaptive and driven by feedback, open to iteration, and always accountable to the people we serve.
Our programs are designed to leave people better equipped to advocate, navigate systems, and share what they have learned. Our work strengthens long-term agency.
