Umang LGBTQ+ Support Group
Umang is the LBQT+ Support Group of The Humsafar Trust, based in Mumbai. We provide community support spaces to Lesbian women, Bisexual women and Trans masculine persons (LBQT+).

Our story
Umang was set up in 2010 as a dedicated safe space for lesbian, bisexual women and female-to-male-trans-persons (LBQT+). Currently, Umang works in the capacity of a collective that is managed, supported, and attended by LBQT+ individuals. Umang was established following a need for LBQT+ individuals to address issues pertaining to sexuality, societal/family pressure, relationships and health as well as seek peer support.
