Marmjidnyasa Foundation - About the foundation

🌈 VISION

We envision a world where:

Every person is treated with respect, regardless of gender identity, orientation, age, ability, or socio-economic status.
Equal rights and equitable access to opportunities are not privileges but guarantees.
Safe spaces exist—online and offline—where healing, learning, and empowerment can thrive.
Mental health is prioritized, healthcare is inclusive, and housing is a right, not a luxury.
Voices from the margins are brought to the center through art, activism, education, and law.
