To spread awareness on gender biases and increase the participation of youth to combat the menace, a virtual forum will be held for three days from December 10 to 12.
Durga India, a citizen sector organisation focusing on women’s safety, will launch the Next Gen Advocates for Gender Equity (NGAGE) forum where 3,000 participants will discuss the current issues for three days.
The forum will serve as an interactive platform where youngsters can realise that they can bring about changes in society with conscious efforts to bridge gender gaps.
“We aim to reassure young minds that their concerns, opinions and suggestions are being heard and that the guidance they seek in solving problems for the future is available to them”, said Priya Varadarajan, founder of Durga India and the organiser of NGAGE.
Noting that young people are both the receivers and reflectors of violence in the society, she said they need to come together to create a progressive, gender equitable society, considering their potential to be tomorrow’s leaders.
