About Point of View

Voices change lives. We build and amplify voices.

At Point of View, we’ve been building and amplifying voices around gender, sexuality and violence since we were born 19 years ago. We work with women at the margins: those who face domestic violence, women who are HIV-positive, in sex work, mentally or physically disabled, those who are dalit, poor, rural. We change women’s lives – and ideas surrounding these lives – by amplifying women’s voices.
