Our Story

We look at gender and sexuality through the prism of intersections with age, class, caste, religion, race, marital status, geographical location, sexual and reproductive health, HIV, disability, mental health, education, livelihood, social security, environment and human rights. Varta Trust aims to publish multi-format and mutli-lingual publications for mass audiences as platforms for dialogue on gender and sexuality.

Our publishing work is complemented by activities around awareness generation through public events, referrals to services, training, social research, and legal, policy and media advocacy on gender and sexuality. Currently, a group of 22 people from the fields of journalism, social work, social and biomedical research, human rights and law, health, academics, art, information technology, engineering, business and financial management, event management and q***r community mobilization forms the larger Varta team.
