Dhwanigalu

Dhwanigalu is our ongoing initiative to build agency, autonomy and leadership among young people in the margins. We began in 2016, with the support of the South Asia Women’s Fund (SAWF) initiating a year-long capacity-building program for strengthening the agency, autonomy and leadership of 85 adolescent girls in rural Mysore. Combining traditional and technology-mediated learning methodologies such as digital story telling, photo-essays, role-plays, simulation exercises and debates, we trigger learning dialogues at the grassroots.

Going forward, we plan to expand our work in this domain with dialogues for building the perspectives and capabilities of adolescent girls and boys, to question social norms that reinforce gender based discrimination, and cultures of violence. This is through our project – Namma Maathu, Namma Jaaga- a larger initiative working towards tackling the issue of gender justice and domestic violence.
