About CREA

Founded in 2000, CREA is an international, feminist human rights organization based in New Delhi, India. It is one of the few feminist human rights organizations based in the Global South, led by Southern feminists, working at community, national, regional, and international levels. Together with partners from a diverse range of human rights movements and networks, CREA’s work focuses on building feminist leadership, strengthening movements, expanding sexual and reproductive freedoms, promoting rights-based approaches to reducing gender-based violence, and advancing the human rights of structurally excluded people.

Life at CREA

✔ We like to think of ourselves as a fearless, interrogative, colourful, edgy, sexy flock of birds flying freely to explore, to imagine and to build freedoms together.

✔ If you feel ready to challenge the system when it is needed, you could be one of us.

✔ If you wish to build a world where an individual must have the agency and right to make choices about sexuality, reproduction and human rights, you will find the room to explore here.

✔ Constant learning and sharing of knowledge is an expectation that team members have from CREA, and CREA from team members.
