We can think and we can definitely Create!

I am belonging to a historically oppressed community, has been working for over a decade with girls, youth and women living in extremely vulnerable conditions.
My activism began at 14 when I was suddenly lost my father, and along with my younger sisters and mother, had to fight extreme poverty, ostracization and violence.
I started working in an NGO, and saw that many other girls and women were suffering due to a severe lack of gender and sexual literacy.
Young men told her how they would harass girls at the roadside, not realising their behaviour was violent. Young women stated how they had not even properly looked at their own bodies, much less understand sexual health or speak against violence.
Anubhuti was thus formed, by me bringing together like-minded young women working in the grassroot and shared my belief to make society literate in gender and sexual justice.
Members of Anubhuti have been spreading awareness of body literacy and dignity in rural, tribal and urban Maharashtra;
Training youth in more gender and sexually equitable behaviour;
Enabling women and men to have equal relationships - by communicating with each other and together taking decisions regarding sexual and reproductive health;
And advocating and collaborating with government officials for better sexual and reproductive health policies.
Till date, over 10000 youth, women, men and authorities have benefited directly and almost 50000 indirectly.
Anubhuti envisions youth and women themselves leading this change and is successfully developing many more grassroot leaders to take this movement ahead.
