Networking & Outreach
WRAG believes in working in collaboration with other community-based organizations, women's organizations and human rights organizations in various ways since this would facilitate us to draw from the wide experience of these organizations and integrate our perspective into the women's human rights movement. As such, WRAG is an active member of several networks and initiatives, both at the local and national levels. These include:
- Aekal Mahila Adhikar Sangharsh Sanghatan (AMASS)
- Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA)
- Coalition for International Criminal Court (CICC)
- Ekal Naari Shakti Sangathan (National Forum for Single Women’s Rights)

- Muslim Women’s Rights Network
- National Network of Autonomous Women’s Groups (NNAWG)
- South Asian Network Against Torture and Impunity (SANTI)
