SAFAR: The Sikh Feminist Research Institute

SAFAR: The Sikh Feminist Research Institute conducts research and education on the intersection of Sikh identity, feminist thought, and social justice. Based in Brampton, the organization examines gender inequality within Sikh communities and broader South Asian contexts through rigorous scholarship and community engagement. SAFAR publishes research, hosts educational workshops, and creates resources that challenge patriarchal structures while centering Sikh women's voices and experiences. The institute works with academics, activists, and community members to advance feminist analysis within religious and cultural spaces. By bridging scholarly work with grassroots organizing, SAFAR contributes to conversations about how feminist principles can strengthen and transform Sikh communities across the GTA and beyond.
