About Punjabi Samvad
Change begins when people are part of the conversation.
Punjabi Samvad began when Amit Bawa and Jyoti Bawa decided to act on the gender-based violence and discrimination they saw around them.
That first step grew into more than two decades of work across education, women's empowerment, mental health, menstrual health, youth development, community health and culture.
