Venkateshwarlu, 25, Peddagopati village, Kammam district, Andhra Pradesh, says, “My sister’s husband was extremely abusive to her. He would drink heavily and squander all the family finances. For years my sister has been staying with us. After becoming a Change Maker, I decided to change my brother in law’s attitudes. I went to him after years of silence between the families. I took the campaign materials. In the beginning he was dismissive and would sneer at everything we said. When we threatened to file a case he mellowed down. He then paid attention to us and even came (after years of separation) to fetch my sister. She is living with him now and they are happy.”
