“MukkaMaar works to build agency in adolescent girls through a unique holistic approach that combines the body (fitness and physical self-defence), voice (assertiveness, verbal self-defence, negotiation, self expression) and mind (awareness, identification of violence, attitudes towards gender) enabling her to deter and escape from violence and live freely.

MukkaMaar believes that when the perception of weakness is removed, something deeper is ignited within girls. Their 3-year MukkaMaar Girls program equips girls with physical, verbal and mental self-defence training that begins with the belief that they are worth defending.

Since 2018, MukkaMaar has worked with 16,000 girls online, 3,000 offline and reached 50,000 students through it’s capacity building work with 300+ PT teachers.”
