Abstract
Haiyya is an Indian organization working toward designing and building a strong, powerful, organized network of sexual and reproductive health workers, activists, organizations, and campaigners in India. Their goal is to drive the conversation around access to stigma free sexual and reproductive healthcare, while also effecting policy-level shifts. Sreejani Malakar, Senior Manager of Leadership Development & Curriculum Design at Haiyya, plays a central role in these efforts. For this mini case study, we sat down with Malakar to learn more about the role that teams and structure play in her organization’s march toward improving healthcare in India.
