Surviving A Pandemic

Since 1996, creating inclusive, safer spaces for women, queer communities, and adolescents.
Founded in 1996 in Vadodara, Gujarat, Vikalp works at the intersections of class, caste, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation. We empower women, queer communities, and adolescents to claim dignity, equality, and justice.
Mission: To empower marginalized communities—especially queer communities, women, and adolescents—through constitutional values, support, and advocacy.
Vision: A just society that safeguards the rights of all, with dignity and respect.
Vikalp is here to support women, queer communities, and marginalized groups in building safer, inclusive lives.
Safe Community Spaces
Inclusive platforms like Chai Chini Café for dialogue, creativity, and solidarity.
Chai Chini Café is a cozy, inclusive space within Vikalp. Here, everyone is welcome—especially members of the queer community. It is a place to relax, to sip chai slowly, or coffee if you prefer—with or without sugar. The choice is always yours. And ours, together, to make this dream real.
Legal & Rights Awareness
Guidance on laws including Domestic Violence Act, Transgender Persons Act, and women’s rights.
Health & Wellbeing
Workshops and support around sexual health, mental health, and access to services.
