Biplah Patatunder: Learning to Interact with Girls
Twenty one-year-old Biplab studies in Baruipur college in West Bengal. He has attended a series of trainings on gender and violence organised by the campaign ally. “Like other boys, I too would tease and harass girls and this was the only way I knew how to interact with them. As a person too I was an introvert and had a low self esteem. Now my friends in college comment that I am not the same Biplab! They see me talking to girls often. But the difference is now I know how to interact with them with dignity and confidence. The campaign has helped me to do that. Incidentally I have also been able to impress one of them to be my life partner!”
