Uttar Pradesh Coalition to Empower Girls (UPCEG)

The largest population of adolescent girls in the country live in the underserved communities of Uttar Pradesh.
The state accounts for some of the worst gender indicators in the education, health and safety of girls.

UPCEG is a coalition of community-based organisations that collectively learn, share, collaborate and advocate
for girls’ rights in Uttar Pradesh to accelerate progress in improving gender indicators in the state.

The Power of Collective Action
UPCEG works closely with 30 civil society organisations in 28 districts of Uttar Pradesh to address the systemic and normative inequalities
impacting adolescent girls in marginalised communities.
Cross Learning
We follow a win-win attitude by facilitating constructive and collaborative spaces for cross-learning and knowledge-sharing among members.
Partnerships for Change

We create a mechanism for consultation with the state and key stakeholders to promote the principle of partnership for constructive social change.

Advocacy for Adolescents

We advocate for amplifying the voices of adolescent girls, empowering them to initiate and spearhead a development discourse at the state level.

Our Progress

Look into the coalition’s progress at the grassroots as we endeavour to empower adolescent girls.
