Garima (LGBTQIA+ Rights)

Sambhali’s ProjectGarima (Dignity) provides a safe drop-in center in Jodhpur for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. This pilot project offers professional support for those who have suffered physical, mental, and financial abuse due to their sexual orientation and/or gender expression.

With the expertise of professionals, we help members create a strong and trustworthy network. Our office provides a safe haven where members can learn about their rights, focus on their emotional well-being, and find guidance.

Project Garima aims to build a bridge between the LGBTQIA+ community and the mainstream society. Through our workshops, we strive to build self-esteem, foster independence, and unite members in the community. The project’s foundation is laid on trust, faith, hope, kindness, gratitude, love, and affection, providing an ear to hear and our hearts to understand the members.

At our weekly Sunday meetups, community members and allies come together in a safe and respectful space to share experiences, receive information, discuss health, cyber safety, laws, documentation, youth issues and available support services.
