SPaRC is an indigenous women-led feminist organization working in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. We walk alongside survivors of gender-based violence, communities healing from conflict, and anyone committed to building a world where dignity isn't a privilege, it's a given.

Who we are
SPaRC stands for Supporting People and Rebuilding Communities, but it's so much more than a name. It's a promise. A commitment. A gathering place for those who believe that indigenous women and girls deserve not just safety, but power. Not just survival, but joy.
We were founded in the Chittagong Hill Tracts by indigenous women who were tired of waiting for others to tell our stories, solve our problems, or define our futures. We're feminists, organizers, researchers, storytellers, and community members who know that real change comes from within.

Vision
A just world where indigenous women and girls freely exercise all their rights, celebrated in every aspect of their identity
একটি ন্যায়সঙ্গত বিশ্ব যেখানে আদিবাসী নারী ও কন্যারা তাদের সকল অধিকার স্বাধীনভাবে প্রয়োগ করতে পারে এবং তাদের পরিচয়ের প্রতিটি দিক উদযাপিত হয়।
Mission
To ensure Indigenous women, girls, trans, and intersex people have realisation and access to their social, cultural, economic, political, sexual, and spiritual rights - without prejudice based on age, sex, caste, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
What we do
We believe in showing up: for survivors, for communities, for the next generation. Here's how we do it
For too long, stories about indigenous communities have been told by outsiders. We're changing that. Through careful research and documentation, we share the realities indigenous people face, in our own words, from our own perspectives. Our work challenges dominant narratives and puts indigenous voices exactly where they belong: at the center
Real change doesn't happen in isolation; it happens when we come together. We build movements by connecting indigenous women, youth, community leaders, and allies who share our commitment to justice and dignity. Together, we're stronger. Together, we're unstoppable.
Everyone deserves a space where they can speak freely, learn without guilt, and heal without shame. Our workshops, trainings, and feminist circles are designed with care, where people can share their stories, ask hard questions, and discover new ways of seeing the world through an indigenous feminist lens.
Misinformation about indigenous communities isn't just inaccurate, it's harmful. We counter lies and stereotypes by creating content that reflects our truths. Through storytelling, social media, videos, and art, we're reshaping the narrative about who we are and what we deserve.
We believe in building bridges, not walls. While we're unapologetic about our values and identities, we also know that lasting change requires dialogue, mutual respect, and the willingness to work across differences. We promote social harmony while never compromising on our commitment to justice.
Our named fellowship supports emerging indigenous feminist organisers across the Hill Tracts with mentorship, training and a network of peers.
