On October 14, 2025, the Global South-CONNECT: Young women and girls with disabilities create networks for change (GlobalSouth-CONNECT) project officially launched in Kolkata, India.
On the first day of fieldwork, participants began with an Introduction to the Project and an Interactive Ethics Training. They also took part in a Collective Biography Workshop, which created a powerful sense of sharing, connection, and mutual understanding among participants.

Through these activities, young women and girls with disabilities in India reflected on their personal stories and the experiences of others, building the foundation for meaningful collaboration and collective growth.
