Twenty-year-old Anasuya Pal studies economics at Jadavpur University in West Bengal. She has attended a series of trainings on gender and violence organised by a campaign ally and has even facilitated an event to mobilise 25 Change Makers. She regularly speaks to her classmates about the campaign. “The campaign makes me feel I have grown up! I was a very shy and an introverted person. But the fact that I could facilitate a session with a group of young people and talk to them about violence, discrimination and about the campaign makes me feel very confident. I was sort of a male hater. But the campaign has taught me not to be like that. I have become unbiased. I realise that it is the society which we live in – a patriarchal one – that makes people do what they do. Most people who perpetuate discrimination or violence are not even aware of what they are doing. Realisation needs to happen both for the perpetuator and the victim. It worked for me very well! But I don’t think I have done enough - I want to do more work on the campaign.”
