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.
