Nirbhau Nirvair: Courage, Compassion, and Sikh Women’s Leadership

Join us for a special session in the Sikhs in Action webinar series featuring Washington State Senator Manka Dhingra, Kiran Kaur Gill, and Mallika Kaur. This one-hour conversation explores how the Sikh principles of Nirbhau (fearlessness) and Nirvair (compassion without enmity) shape Sikh women’s leadership in public life. From policy and advocacy to community care and justice work, our speakers will reflect on how these values become lived seva within institutions and public spaces.

This webinar is a part of the Sikhs in Action webinar series co-presented by the Sikh Foundation and UC Santa Cruz Sarbjit Singh Aurora Endowed Chair in Sikh and Punjabi Studies.
