This is Kaamini's story, what is yours?
One of our rights advocates, Kaamini rang the bell.
Kaamini lives in a slum near the Shivaji Nagar area of Bangalore, India. She along with the help of few more girls, all of who have atteded a breakthrough leadership training, took action against a man who used to always get drunk and create nuisance in the neighborhood.
Following is a video story on Kaamini’s breakthrough, her courage and determination to make the environment violence free.
The video tells the story well, here we would just quote Kaamin from the interview, “Earlier we used to be afraid of police and used to leave these matters to men but after attending Breakthrough training we feel empowered so we decided to take it up ourselves with police.”
They persisted for four months and finally police took action against the man.
This was Kaamini’s story of how she rang the bell. What is yours?
