About Me

The Dastak Collective was created when a group of like-minded individuals decided to come together and form a 'Collective' to find answers to relevant issues that surround us. The initiative is to delve into deeper issues that threaten the balance of society, making lives vulnerable, forcing these lives to be pushed to live in the margins. Dastak will work towards empowering and enabling- through education, both formal and non-formal, through life-skills and vocational trainings and by generating sustainable livelihood options so that an association can be made with the mainstream- leading towards an equally informed, dignified and independent life. The members of the group have been brought together by ideas, also actively and strongly taking action against injustices and working towards challenging them. We think that it is not only a need, but also our responsibility to stand up for the rights of marginalised and exploited people and environment. We are looking forward to collaborate and work in diverse areas – from urban-rural environmental concerns to human trafficking to informal education to traditional art and anything that is struggling to find a voice around us.
