Who are we?

Since 1996, we at TARSHI (Talking About Reproductive and Sexual Health Issues) have been working on the right of all people to sexual wellbeing, and to a self-affirming and enjoyable sexuality. In our work on sexuality and wellbeing, we emphasise pleasure, consent and accurate knowledge, and on affirming the diversity in people’s experiences and expressions of sexuality. We bring in perspectives that are feminist, pleasure-affirming, and intersectional, especially of diverse sexual and gender identities, of disability and of wellbeing.

We’re a small team with big dreams – to promote safe, inclusive spaces that advance people’s wellbeing and their agency over their sexuality and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). We do this through information dissemination, capacity and perspective strengthening, and cultivating platforms for conversations on sexuality and wellbeing, using a feminist and intersectional lens. We constantly work towards collective care and collective accountability within the organisation.

Our publications, such as The Red Book and The Blue Book, are much-loved and have been part of the growing-up journeys of children and young people for years now. Through our trainings, online courses and other resources on sexuality and wellbeing over nearly-30 years, we have created cadres of people working on these topics in India, South Asia and beyond. Additionally, our digital magazine on sexuality and wellbeing, In Plainspeak, is well-respected for increasing dialogue and debate on the complex, nuanced, and even contentious issues around sexuality in the South and Southeast Asia region.

Join us in our work to re-imagine all spaces to be Safe, Inclusive and Self-Affirming (in the context of gender and sexuality).
