Dear Patron !
RSKS India Family wishes you a Happy MERRY Christmas!
Social Evils prevailing in the sociaty are the negligence of the people and the conservative thinking which do not let the voice of victim to be heard. This is due to lack of awareness in the some areas. In order to deal with this situation, RSKS India is having its Stop Violence Against Women project in the rural areas from the year 1992. Much have been changed through this program as it focuses on mass awareness about social evils like child marriage, dowry, violence against women, gender inequality etc. There are many awareness activities which are implemented under this project and most of these awareness activities are done in the remote rural areas as it has been observed that much work is needed in this.
In this context, RSKS India organized the Mass Awareness About Social Evils Through Wall Paintings program under the Stop Violence Against Women project. These wall paintings were 10 X 05 feet and were made up of oil paint so that it could last longer where ever it was drawn. This awareness wall painting work was done in 10 villages and total of 50 awareness wall paintings were drawn at the places where the rural public visited many times. These wall paintings were drawn to give the message of End child marriage, Stop Violence Against Women, Gender Equality etc so that the rural people and the passerby could also understand the importance eradicating these social evils from the society. After making the wall paintings, RSKS team also visited these places to take the feedback from the rural people as well as from the passerby people to gain insights from the program.
Through these 50 awareness wall paintings at 10 villages, RSKS India was able to aware approx 20,000 rural and passerby people about the ending child marriage, stop violence against women, gender equality, stop dowry etc social evils. These oil wall paintings would not only provide awareness to these 20,000 people but would also be spreading awareness to many more people in the next years as the life of the oil wall paintings is long. A small change in the conservative thinking of the rural people was observed through this awareness program as many people who didn’t paid attention to this pivotal topic are looking on to it. The village administration also were very happy with this work as the informal reports to them decreased after the awareness wall paintings were made. Village people as well as other people appreciated the program when RSKS team visited the village to take feedback. This kind of small efforts would surely lead to a violence free society some day.
Once again thank you so much for your valuable Support.
Many Regards
