Our Impact

At PUKAPS, our mission is to create lasting, meaningful change for women, girls, and marginalized communities in Solo and beyond. Through our innovative programs and initiatives, we are driving real progress in gender equality, education, and social justice. Here are some highlights of our impact:

SEA Project: Empowering Youth Through Comprehensive Sexuality Education: With the expansion of the SEA Project in 2024, we are training over 50 youth leaders to advocate for Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR)

FEMStride Project: PUKAPS has empowered hundreds of young feminists with the knowledge and tools to challenge patriarchal norms and advocate for gender equality.

Nyala Feminist Festival: The art and performances showcased at Nyala Feminist Festival have not only served as outlets for personal expression but have also educated the public on critical issues such as gender-based violence, body autonomy, and reproductive rights.
