ICRW Asia
Our History
In 1998, the International Center for Research on Women established an office in New Delhi, India, to oversee a pioneering five-year study. This study was among the first to examine the extent of domestic violence in India and played a critical role in bringing about policy changes to protect women. Subsequently, ICRW was registered in India as an independent organization on 3rd June 2002. Since then, ICRW in India has used the same brand identity as agreed under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ICRW US. This enabled ICRW to broaden its efforts to promote gender-equitable development and respond to the pressing challenges faced by women, girls, and structurally excluded populations in their communities.
Our Work
The International Center for Research on Women’s Asia office programs are aimed at empowering adolescents in schools and communities and encompass several key initiatives, including the Gender Equity Movement in Schools (GEMS), GEMS for Boys, UMANG, PAnKH, and PLAN-IT Girls. In addition to these programs, ICRW Asia also operates the YASH Fellowship Program, which provides training on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and climate change to young people working with grassroots organizations.
Alongside its programs, ICRW Asia engages in critical research projects. The REBUILD study seeks to understand the impact of COVID-19 on informal women workers, while the Women in Leadership study aims to identify enablers and barriers to women’s career growth in the health sector. Additionally, ICRW Asia conducts strategic research and programming on men and masculinities in the region, shaping the discourse and building evidence on these crucial issues.
