It focuses on football training and also incorporates perspective-building activities aligned with its vision statement.

The "Creating Inclusive Cities / Safe Spaces" programme by Parcham focuses on addressing the exclusion of women from public spaces. By actively claiming these spaces and making their presence visible, Parcham works towards engaging with the Government to foster inclusive cities. It advocates for young girls' participation in public spaces by practising on open grounds, aiming to establish a new norm. Utilizing its own experiences of struggling to find a safe space for football practice, Parcham successfully lobbied with elected representatives and bureaucrats to allocate land for a dedicated sports ground for young girls. Its objective is to contribute to the discourse on urban planning, promoting justice, inclusivity, and equity in cities.
