Through all our engagement we want to have an undercurrent running across our programmes that shapes minds of the young males in India into de-objectifying the female human body and creating more sensitive and empathic youth towards gender differences. Also create an environment in which young girls can declutter their masculine-dominated concept of femininity.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Trafficking is a serious social issue that affects every fifth Indian today, as there are currently over 200 million adolescents in India. Awareness leads to prevention, which is key to stopping this issue, but it has already caused a major setback for the entire generation. Tragically, everyday more than 200 children and 680 women go missing in India.

What does your innovation look like in practice?
