Co-Creating Just & Livable Asia Now

What we do

A group of women gathered around a table in a modern, well-lit room, engaged in collaborative work with large sheets of paper, markers, and notes, some standing and some seated, with a desktop projector and a digital device on the table.

We amplify voices of communities and co-create transformative campaigns, education and public participation.

We work with activists, researchers, and local communities to co-create knowledge for academic and community spaces.

We work with youth, educators, and grassroots networks to co-create initiatives that respond to real localised needs.

We offer resources to help you stay informed, protected, and empowered on essential legal information.
