Twenty-one-year-old Rita lives in the village of Lakkhanwala that is in the Sahaspur block of Dehradun. She heard of the campaign when she volunteered her services for a local NGO that is a campaign ally. Rita was extremely keen to become a Change Maker and began contributing to the process of change by organising meetings for young people and sensitising them to the issue of violence against women. Initially, the young were dismissive but were soon convinced about the need to change social attitudes relating to gender violence. Rita has also helped her own relative who was being abused by her in-laws. With the help of the local NGO, Rita approached the panchayat and helped resolve the matter. She is now involved in convincing others to become Change Makers like her.
