Dear Friend's Namaste!
The Fundamental Rights of our constitution strengthen us. When we talk about the freedom, men and women both have equal right without any discrimination, but women often face discrimination that have resulted as so many social evils that our society still practise and such social evils still confine women. Violence against women, female feticide, gender inequality, child marriage, undulation, dowry are some of the social evils that our society practice.
Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan raises voice against the social evils spreaded in the society and has took a number of initiatives. In the series, in the collaboration of GlobalGiving Foundation, four-days awareness campaign was organized under the project where more than 360 women took participate. A workshop to prevent violence against women and women's' legal rights was held under the campaign where the participants got acquainted about their legal rights and a message was delivered to be free-of-violence. The participants also learned about female foeticide, gender inequality, child marriage and other social evils through role plates and debates.
The participants (women and girls) supported the program through signature campaign. The entire program made the participants aware of the issues and they raised voice against the evils through a public rally by chanting awareness slogans through which they also delivered a firm message to the society that women are also an integral part of the society. During the program, many participants discussed with the RSKS activists and shared their views. Such awareness program doesn't bring change in the society all of a sudden but it has introduced a wave of changes to the society that has started changing orthodox and conventional belives of the society. All women and girls thanked GlobalGiving Foundation and the donors along with RSKS.
One of the women participants shared the experiences of her life to our female activist during the program. Her name is Reshma (Name Changed) and she is 32 years old who got married 5 years ago, having a girl child. Reshma's husband abused and beat her since the beginning of their married life but now their girl child is suffering from the bad effects of the behavior of her father to her mother. Reshma was so worried but she couldn't share her feelings to anyone. The workshop provided her a platform to share her experiences and feelings and to know about her legal rights. Reshma has decided not to tolerate more violence and to fight for her rights.
Many thanks again for your support!!
