Twenty seven-year-old Shyam Sundar Tripathy of Koraput, Orissa, is the state facilitator of the campaign. “We are six brothers and four sisters. All my brothers and I have had a decent education. My sisters, however, have not been educated at all. When we all started our families, I saw that girls of my siblings were again not being educated. As a facilitator of the campaign, I realized that change must begin at home. I persuaded my siblings to enroll all their girls into schools. Also, earlier I never objected to women eating after the men were done with their meals because it never struck me as odd or unusual. Now I consciously urge the women to sit down with the rest of the family. We as a team also intervened in a case where a girl who worked as a domestic help was arrested on charges of stealing a mobile phone and sexually abused while in police custody.”
