Consultation on ‘Draft National Youth Policy 2021’ organised by Nirantar Trust

The Draft National Youth Policy 2021 was taken up for a consultation organised by Nirantar Trust on 23 June 2022. It was analysed from a gender, sexuality and diversity perspective for recommendations through which insights from the consultation would go as suggestions to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.

Rising Flame participated in this consultation under the guidance of Founder and Executive Director Nidhi Goyal. The main lenses of analyses revolved around questions of whether the policy was sufficiently engaging with questions of gender justice and inclusion in the first place, as well as concrete measures that could be taken to make the policy gender, sexuality and diversity responsive.
