A Safe Space

Many adolescent girls and women live in homes where social norms and patriarchal systems make it hard to feel truly safe. In such spaces, it can be hard to focus on your well-being, learn new skills, spend time with yourself, or study. Sometimes, unsafe or violent situations may also continue.

Safety is more than just a feeling—it’s about having a space where you can truly be yourself.

Humkadam is a welcoming space where you can:

• Take time for yourself, reflect, or just enjoy some quiet moments
• Learn new skills at your own pace
• Understand ways to stay safe and protect yourself
• Read, study, and grow your knowledge
• Find support if you are going through a crisis
