WHAT WE DO

Founded in 1983, the Centre for Social Research (CSR) is a leading non-profit based in New Delhi, India, with a mission to create a violence-free, gender-equitable world. Accredited by the United Nations and a proud member of ECOSOC, we champion women’s rights through impactful research, education, capacity building, and advocacy. 

CSR is the nodal agency for Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) as part of the initiative by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD). We also work closely with the National Commission for Women (NCW) as a pan India nodal agency for 24×7 e-consulting helpline for Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) and (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) PoSH Act implementation.

Our work spans women-focused, skill development, empowerment, climate action, and digital safety across India and the region, including Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. For over 40 years, we’ve been at the forefront of driving positive change.
