Nazariya
is a queer feminist resource group based in New Delhi, India
Nazariya: A Queer Feminist Resource Group (Nazariya QFRG) is a non-profit queer feminist resource group based out of Delhi NCR, India. The group was formed in October 2014, and has since established a South Asian presence. The organization undertakes workshops/seminars, helpline- and case-based counselling, and advocacy to affirm the rights of persons identifying as lesbian and bisexual women, and transgender persons assigned female at birth. Nazariya QFRG also works to inform queer discourse in institutions, and build linkages between queer issues, violence and livelihoods. They focus on the intersectionality between queer, women’s and progressive left movements in India.
In 2015, Nazariya QFRG supported 19-year-old Shivy by arranging legal counsel, safe shelter and passage to Delhi to challenge the illegal confinement inflicted on him by his parents in Agra. In 2018, the organization endorsed a critique of the Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018 Archived 2021-03-23 at the Wayback Machine, India, which was censured by many scholars, lawyers and activists for criminalizing vulnerable individuals in the absence of adequate measures to address the factors that make persons vulnerable to trafficking in the first place.
Name origin
The word Nazariya means "a way of seeing" or "a perspective". This name reflects the group's mission to make marginalized perspectives heard, in order to counter the toxic cultural and societal "hegemony of heteronormativity".
Key concerns
The group aims to sensitize groups and individuals working on issues of gender-based violence, education, health and livelihoods from a lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LBT) perspective.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
