Breakthrough an organisation working to create a cultural shift and make discrimination and violence against girls and women unacceptable.
Experiences and stories are our tools of choice, as we endeavour to make the subject of gender-based violence mainstream. We speak to our large and diverse audience in a language they can relate to, using mediums they respond to – such as music, new media and popular culture.
This new approach to problem-solving is what led to the music album “Mann ke Manjeere”. What started as a music video, took on a life of its own and became a movement. We have since focused our efforts on opening doors, breaking barriers, and starting honest conversations about gender, violence and discrimination, with women, men, adolescents, youth, families and communities as units, frontline health workers, government officials, influencers etc.
With partners that have supported us, media platforms that have amplified our call, and messaging that has translated into tangible action on the ground, our endeavour to transform the world around us grows stronger every day. Our approach of one home, one workplace, one community at a time have helped create a positive impact on millions of women and girls.
Our story is a sum total of many truths and realities that propel us to work towards creating a change in our social environments.
Breakthrough and partners are putting together a Pan-Asian forum for sharing of experiences and analysis on prevention of gender based violence (GBV) and gender based discriminaiton (GBD) through norm change from 2nd to 4th March 2022. Over the 3 days of the summit we plan to deep dive into creating a future agenda, priorities and strategies for preventing GBV and GBD through responsive actions towards norm change, strengthening response mechanisms and other transformative actions. The summit will be an interactive space for dialogues, networking, partnership building and listening to collectively take ahead the agenda of gender equality and justice across Asia between feminist activists and leaders across working in research, policy, and practice. It will also try to build a collective advocacy agenda for the region and look for organizing spaces, alliances and groups for working together in the future.

We want to hear from women’s rights activists, community and grassroots leaders, civil society organisations and networks, feminist economists and researchers, academics, policy makers, and development and humanitarian practitioners from all generations, identities and backgrounds who are directly or indirectly involved in promoting committed and working towards prevention of GBV and GBD across different spaces and with different constituencies.
