A Gender Positive Project by Asansol Udan

Asansol Udan, a youth-led organisation committed to gender equality, has been working for over a decade to challenge gender bias, promote rights-based movements, and raise awareness about harmful gender norms in society. Their new initiative, Golper Bakso / Kahani ka Dabba, is a year-long storytelling and interaction-based program for children in government schools, designed to build gender sensitivity, life skills, and value education through creative engagement.

Targeting students from classes III to VII, the project involves weekly storytelling sessions, theatrical classrooms, wall magazines, and regular involvement of parents and teachers to create a holistic learning environment. Rooted in the belief that early childhood experiences shape lifelong perspectives, this project aims to foster empathy, creativity, and equality from the ground up.

Rakhi bondhuke rakhi

More than 200 people of Asansol gathered in Rabindra Bhavan premises and tied rakhi to mark the presence of acceptance and warmth amongst all the citybred, to the notion of family beyond homes.

Thought Behind:

Rakhi, having a very different relevance in West Bengal, symbolizes fraternity. In the face intolerance, violence and extremism, all we could do was to promote an environment free of judgments depending upon surnames, food habits, clothes worn or language spoken.
