'''Centre for Equity and Inclusion (CEQUIN)''',is a [[non-governmental organisation]] based in [[New Delhi]] [[India]], that promotes the equal rights of women and girls, to lead a violence-free life, develop their abilities, own and manage their resources, as well as to participate and be included in decision-making processes.

==Organisation==
Sara Abdullah Pilot, a [[social worker]], co-founded CEQUIN with Lora Krishnamurthi Prabhu in 2009.

CEQUIN conducted research and advocacy on gender based violence in public spaces in 2010, leading to the organizing of a National Level Conference in partnership with [[National Commission for Women|NCW]] and [[UNDP]] on the issue, followed by the publication of the book “The Fear that Stalks” by [[Zubaan Books]] in 2012. Many of the recommendations flagged by CEQUIN were incorporated in the Justice Verma Committee Report and the Criminal Law Amendment Act. CEQUIN was selected as one of the NGOs to run the Awaz Uthao Campaign pilot project by the Govt of NCT Delhi.

CEQUIN partnered with a NGO UMEED in 2014 to give deprived women in India [[electric rickshaw]] as a way to increase their potential for economic opportunity.<ref name="ummeed">{{cite news|publisher=[[Zee News]]|url=http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/ummeed-ki-rickshaw-an-attempt-to-empower-women_798100.html|title='Ummeed ki rickshaw' - An attempt to empower women|date=6 September 2012|accessdate=25 October 2015|archivedate=12 October 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141012113857/http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/ummeed-ki-rickshaw-an-attempt-to-empower-women_798100.html}}</ref>
