Our SASHAKT project was shared as a Program helping adolescents at the SIGBI Pre-Conference PAC meeting.

Aligning to SDG’s 3, 4 and 5 of the United Nations, SI Bombay Chembur launched a project named SASHAKT in 2018 to advocate and create awareness on many taboo and less discussed topics. As a part of this project, a series of sessions on ‘Gender, Rights and Sexuality’ for girls and women, Sessions on my first period, reaching puberty, substance abuse, safe and unsafe touch, gender rights, rights of married women, sex and sexuality, pre-marital counseling, among others were held for age specific audiences. More than 1500 girls and women ranging from the age groups of 10 to 25 years were trained over these last few years.
