Sahadeb Mistry: Opening up Communication

Eighteen-year-old Sahadeb Mistry lives with his parents and studies in class ten at the Dhamnagar Jitendranath Sardar Bidyaniketan in Balakhali in West Bengal. He is a good student and takes part in a host of extra-curricular activities promoted by the school. He is well versed in first aid and is keen to promote cleanliness within his community. Human rights has remained an area of special interest. As a Change Maker with the campaign, he has been active in designing posters with the campaign messages. He has also begun disseminating information and holding public debates on the campaign issues, particularly on the issue of dowry. “Men are easier to talk to,” he says. “Approaching women I do not know is still a daunting task. People listen to me so I am confident that I can share information, reason with them and finally begin to talk to women as well, “ he adds.
