Founded in 2013, Laadliyan, Celebrating & Empowering Daughters is a non-profit organization in the Greater Toronto Area, promoting gender equity and girls' and women's empowerment in the South Asian Community. As daughters who are familiar with the impacts gender inequality can have on young girls, we want to ensure our younger sisters in the community grow up feeling wanted, confident and independent. We are determined to provide South Asian females with positive experiences by fostering strong relationships and alliances. Through engagement, education and awareness, we encourage our community to celebrate daughters and to discuss the impacts son preference has on females of all ages.
