Olakhspace

Olakh (means 'Identity'), is a feminist organisation established in 1993 in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. Here we want to share with you our work in visual form to challenge existing discriminatory patriarchal mindsets and structures of power relations as manifested in gender, caste, class, religion and ethnicity to promote dignity and justice for all. The work of Olakh revolves around the two concepts: 'Jagya' (Space) and 'Samvad' (Dialogue). It is a warm, safe, secure, confidential, non-judgmental, non-sectarian and knowledge based space to mutually share, learn, grow and assert one's identities with pride and dignity. It is a space to have dialogue, to share and nurture joy, to give and get inspiration and support in the moment of helplessness and isolation.
