Creating safer, more inclusive public spaces for everyone.
Safetipin India Foundation works to create safe, inclusive and accessible public spaces for women and other excluded groups, enabling equitable access to education, employment, healthcare and public life while helping prevent gender-based violence.
Advancing gender-inclusive and equitable cities
Safetipin India Foundation is a registered Section 8 company dedicated to advancing gender-inclusive and equitable cities. We work with communities, governments, researchers and civil society organisations to address the barriers that limit safety, mobility and access to opportunities.
Through community-led initiatives, research, capacity building and partnerships, we support practical solutions that reduce gender-based violence, strengthen inclusive urban development and enable women and other excluded groups to participate fully in public life.

Our programmes address the systemic barriers that prevent women and excluded groups from accessing public life safely and equitably.

We collaborate with governments and urban stakeholders to integrate gender and inclusion into planning, policies and public infrastructure.
Research & Evidence

Capacity Building
We strengthen the skills and knowledge of institutions, practitioners and communities through training, workshops and technical assistance.
Building safer cities requires collective action.
