MukkaMaar works on building agency in adolescent girls with a focus on violence prevention, building inner-power, to lead to long term positive outcomes in girls. Research and evidence forms the backdrop of our approach but in the absence of concrete frameworks for manifestation of adolescent agency in the Indian context, there was a need to build a nuanced understanding of whether MukkaMaar's work is in the right direction or not.
Quantitative data and monitoring that the organisation does is insufficient to capture changing and emerging mindsets and motivations and that's where illume' research stepped in. Reshma painstakingly invested a long time speaking to our team to understand the goals of the project. Her team designed appropriate projective tools, that would capture data with minimum bias. illume was also mindful of working with minors and all ethical and safety considerations were met.
The result of the study is rich to say the least. A number of unintended consequences of the intervention emerged and how change takes place was captured, synthesized and presented in a very nuanced manner. The report is immensely valuable to MukkaMaar to understand stakeholders as well as for the purpose of building credibility for our work.
Reshma and team are brilliant at their work, and bring tremendous experience and research etiquette with them.
