Suresh Thanti: Helping Girls Find a Voice

“ I live in Gunyor in Hathita, Ranchi. I have four brothers and sisters. I have always noticed discrimination at home. While my brother and I had no restrictions, my sisters were not allowed to study and married off at a young age. They would be scolded at home often. It used to disturb me but I did not know how to handle it. When I pledged to be Change Maker, I began talking to people and urging them to treat girls the same way as boys. In my own way, I hope I can help girls gain more confidence, rights and a voice in their own homes.”
