The Rights Collective is a group of South Asian womxn who are looking to tackle the distinct and often subtle ways in which women's disempowerment and inequality manifest within the diaspora community in the UK - exploring both the public and private domains. We believe it is our duty to dismantle and subvert some of these norms within our own spaces. We work to better understand how gendered experiences manifest for self-identifying Hindu womxn (whether they are practicing religiously or identify with the cultural community) in the U.K. and how we can facilitate a shift towards equality.We carry out our work in three pathways:1. BREAKING THE SILENCE - Focus on understanding what the issue is, encouraging people to talk about it more openly, building trust and relationships.2. CULTIVATING A NEW CULTURE - Raising awareness, educating and changing the underlying socio-cultural norms that allow gender inequality to persist.3. CO- CREATING SPACES FOR SUPPORT - Bring together services that might support women in times of need.
