SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action)

In partnership with Alisha Seva Foundation, our 16-day campaign across Dr. Zakir Hussain Nagar sparked vital discussions on gender equality, economic independence, and ending violence. 🎲 Games like Snake & Ladder engaged communities in tackling tough topics like the impact of violence on Mental Health and accessing support for the same. 💔 A 5th grader’s story of being called a “boz” (burden) reminded us why this work matters. 🕌 Post-Namaz dialogues with community men revealed the need for ongoing gender sensitization. While many agreed on the need toend violence, one asked, “Why should women work and earn?” Together, let’s challenge biases and create a world free from violence. #16DaysOfActivism #EndViolence #NoExcuse #GenderEquality
