The Awards for Heroes of Courage and Women Change Agents recognizes the exemplary work of young Indians who chose to act against violence that women experience in both public and private spaces. The women, men and transgenders, who will be felicitated, come from diverse contexts but they are all committed to one cause: an India where girls and women have access to equal rights and where there is zero tolerance for gender-based violence
