Centre for Gender And Politics South Asia

Source: Centre for Gender And Politics South Asia

Centre for Gender And Politics (CGAP) is a volunteer led think tank based in India that contributes to a high-quality scholarship on the intersection of gender, politics and South Asia. We are a platform for researchers, policymakers and the public to engage in a positive discourse on furthering gender diversity in politics with contextual nuances of South Asia as a focus.

Our Mission

Raise awareness and enable research on exceptional leadership at the intersection of Gender, Politics and South Asia.

Themes

Awareness on Women's Political Leadership

We are committed to highlighting the accounts of women's political leadership in South Asia. Our goal is to challenge the common portrayal of women in South Asia as powerless and victimised. Through the use of the 'language of leadership', we hope to bring attention to the important role that women play in shaping political discourse and decision-making.

Building Solidarity and Allyship

Through the roundtables, local events and engagement with leaders in the political system, we have been working towards encouraging solidarity and allyship across South Asian researchers and leaders.

Research

We want to bridge the research gap on gender and politics in South Asia through studies, reports and articles. Our regional focus is home to more than a billion non-native English speakers, so we try to simplify the language of our research while maintaining academic robustness in every research we publish.
