“ I live in Patna. I would like to recall an incident in my life. I was traveling with two friends by train to take the civil services examination. After a while, two girls came in and sat in our compartment. Three boys joined us later. They began teasing the girls. At first their assaults were verbal. Then they began to molest the girls. My friends and I could not bear to see this. We tried to reason with the boys but they began to hit us. A bloody fight broke out. I was badly injured. Seeing the damage they had done, the boys fled in panic. The girls were petrified but seeing how we stood up for them, they summoned courage to file a police report. This was a huge step for them. Now as a Change Maker in the campaign, I get an opportunity to talk to many, many more people. I hope that I along with others can bring about a change in attitudes and practices that discriminate and abuse women.”
