NISA, a word that signifies both “woman” and “dream,” is a women-led initiative committed to building safer and more equal communities. In a world shaped by patriarchy, where discrimination and violence are often normalized, we stand to confront these injustices head-on. Our mission is clear: to ensure that every woman not only has the freedom to dream but also the power to realize those dreams.

Registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860, NISA works through targeted regional Hotspots — diverse settings such as urban neighborhoods, rural areas, schools, and colleges — where we implement our five platforms of change. These Hotspots serve as testing grounds to refine our models of impact, which are then replicated and scaled across new regions to expand our reach and create lasting transformation in communities.
