Picture 2Extending the Breakthrough Leadership program, we have started involving some of our rights advocates in a new program called ‘Rights Reporters.’ This is a capacity building activity intended to enable them to make short issue based video content for web2.o. Our rights advocates are now the voices from the community directly reaching to the world audience through Bell Bajao Blog.

Here is the first video by Rights Reporter Ashish from Lucknow. Edited by Breakthrough media team.

In the video:

Mehrunissa and Tarannum are two Muslim women in Lucknow, who teach child labourers in a local school. They talk about ideas of education and exposure among lower middle class Muslim societies, their own experiences, and prejudice faced by their friends and peers. They talk about their mothers and the remarkable perseverance they showed in educating their daughters. Through anecdotes, stories, hearsay, jokes and conversation we are able to get a glimpse into the world of these women and become aware of deep rooted prejudices that still exist about educating women.
