Welcome to Feminist approach to Technology
Feminist Approach to Technology (FAT) is a not‐for‐profit organization established in 2008 and primarily operates in Delhi, Pune, Jharkhand & Bihar. We are network of community collectives led by young women, working together for sustainable development, equality and equity in their communities, through a feminist approach to technology.
Mission & Vision
Our Vision: Every girl reclaims her right to STEM and uses it to drive collective leadership to build sustainable communities.
Our Mission: To build collective leadership of girls so they can use technical tools, STEM innovation and feminist awareness, to bring sustainable change in their lives and communities.
Our Strategy
For us, a feminist approach to technology is a gendered critique of the design, use and impact of technology, as well as empowering women to participate in its future. We believe that equal participation of women in producing and decision-making regarding technology is important to ensure that widely used technologies do not affect women adversely.
Our Programs
Young women's Leadership Program: Building feminist leadership by giving girls and women (aged 14 to 19) an understanding of their rights along with 21st technology skills
Girls in STEM Program: Closing the Gender Gap in STEM by providing spaces for girls (aged 10 to 18) to explore, work with tools, assemble circuits, do experiments, and understand what makes the world around us tick
Collectivisation Initiative: Collectives will be responsible for implementing FAT’s programs at the community-level in the places where they live
