Martha Farrell Foundation

Martha Farrell Foundation Take forward Martha Farrell’s legacy by supporting practical interventions to achieve a gender just society and promote life-long learning.

Martha Farrell was renowned and respected in India, and around the world, for her work on women’s rights, gender equality and adult education. She was among 14 people killed in a Taliban attack in a guest house in Kabul, Afghanistan on May 13, 2015. She had been leading a gender training workshop with the Aga Khan Foundation in Kabul at the time of the attack. The Martha Farrell Foundation (MFF) has been set up in her memory to carry forward Martha’s spirit and legacy by advancing her pioneering work on gender mainstreaming and adult education, with the overall goal of achieving gender equality in India and around the world. The Martha Farrell Foundation is committed to securing a gender just society by supporting practical interventions which challenge gender discrimination and promote gender mainstreaming within organisations and wider society. The foundation will continue Martha’s legacy with the same passion, excellence and long-term commitment that Martha applied in all aspects of her life.

As the Martha Farrell Foundation completes 10 years, the Martha Farrell Awards too marks a decade of recognising and celebrating grassroots changemakers across the country.

Over the years, the Awards have grown beyond a platform for recognition into a strong and growing network of grassroots individuals and organisations. Today, this network brings together thousands of changemakers working across diverse communities and causes.

As we enter our tenth year, we remain committed to strengthening these connections, amplifying grassroots voices and building this collective even further. Here’s to a decade of solidarity, recognition and collective action and to the many more journeys we will continue to celebrate together.

What does it take to create a workplace where everyone feels safe, respected and heard?

Today, we're revisiting: Together, Let’s Counter: A Booklet for Encountering Sexual Harassment at the Workplace, a resource that encourages us to recognise, understand and collectively respond to sexual harassment at work.

As the Martha Farrell Foundation marks 10 years and we commemorate the 10th edition of the Martha Farrell Awards, we are bringing back resources that continue to remind us that preventing sexual harassment is not an individual responsibility. Creating safer workplaces requires awareness, collective action and a commitment to building environments where everyone can work with dignity.

"फ़ोन है, पर कभी सही से सीखा नहीं कि इसका इस्तेमाल कैसे करते हैं।"

तैमूर नगर में घरेलू कामगार महिलाओं के साथ डिजिटल साक्षरता प्रशिक्षण के दौरान यह वाक्य बार-बार सुनने को मिला।

इस अनुभव ने याद दिलाया कि डिजिटल साक्षरता केवल स्मार्टफ़ोन चलाना सीखना नहीं है। यह आत्मविश्वास, डिजिटल सुरक्षा और अपनी ज़रूरतों के लिए तकनीक का स्वतंत्र रूप से इस्तेमाल करना सीखने की प्रक्रिया है।

जब सीखने का माहौल सहयोगी और बिना झिझक वाला हो, तो एक वीडियो कॉल करना भी आत्मनिर्भरता की ओर बढ़ाया गया एक बड़ा कदम बन जाता है|

"Who says women are only connected by blood?”

This , we're revisiting 'Connected by Dreams, Not Blood', a powerful reflection on the friendships, solidarity and collective strength that women build to challenge barriers and transform their communities.

As the Martha Farrell Foundation marks 10 years and we commemorate the 10th edition of the Martha Farrell Awards, we're bringing back stories that continue to inspire us and remind us that lasting change begins with women standing together.

Voices That Refused Silence!

At the 6th Martha Farrell Awards, women domestic workers transformed their lived experiences of sexual harassment at their workplace into a powerful and collective performance.

Through a art-based research, where saree became a canvas of stories too often left unheard, stories of resilience, resistance, and the courage to speak out. Depicted and performed on stage, this long saree challenged silence and demanded dignity, safety, and justice for every worker.

A decade later as the Foundation commemorates it's tenth year, it recollects this empowering moment, and continues to honour these voices that remind us: when survivors tell their stories, they don't just document injustices, they re-shape the conversation.
