Our Approach

Effective reform initiatives should be grounded in a thorough understanding of the specific context in which the policies are enacted. Moreover, acknowledging the inherent biases entrenched within societal structures and power dynamics is imperative for successful reforms that can tackle systemic inequalities and promote inclusive change.
