Input & interactive session on Gender Equality



On 23rd November 2017, forty seven Bal Sansad children were present for the input session on gender equality at Gorai. The objective of the session was to create awareness on equality and respect for women.

The resource person Ms. Nasim  Kasughar, CCO staff explained to the children various ways in which discrimination starts from our house to society. They are limited to access resources and opportunities such as education, job, healthcare services etc.  right from food, education, work  to behavior. Most of the time people underestimate the efforts and hardwork put by women and their capabilities. The list of Indian women who have made great achievements in various fields all over the world are in plenty for e.g Mother Teresa . Sunita Williams, Kalpana Chawla etc.

An interaction session as a follow up on the input session was held on 30th November 2017 at Gorai again with nineteen children from Bal Sansad participating. The children were asked questions based on the session to ensure the children remembered what was taught.
Location: Gorai, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
