[punam Dhobale]

Hello every one

My self punam i am working with Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas priyojan Uttar pradesh India. RGMVP is working for poverty reduction and women empowerment in 49 backward districts of Uttar Pradesh. I am working here as program officer (Young women Self help group) YWSHG is unique program we have started mobilizing adolescent girls in to YWSHG and currently we have 250000 SHGs. 13 to 21 years girls are the part of the YWSHG. We are working with these girls on Menstrual health management and nutrition, leadership rights and entitlement, self defense. 

I would like to formulate training program on Gender and gender based violence. As these girls are the key resource and change makers in society. They are very enthusiastic to work within community for the same i need to formulate programs and activities. It would be great help for me if you could guide me and assist me for the same.

Worm regards.

Punam Surekha.

Hi Punam,

I work with communities. My personal experience is that teaching, training on gender and raising awareness has very limited results.

We have to hold the space and encourage adolescents to take action. An approach which focuses on strengths called SALT has been very effective in motivating people to change the way they operate.  Read more https://www.communitylifecompetence.org/
