" ve always admired Millennium Fellows' projects and work, as well as the positive impact they've had on society. I want to do the same and give as much back as possible through this Fellowship. As a Millennium Fellow, I plan to use this honour to broaden the scope of my project and to launch similar initiatives that will pave the way for much-needed reforms in our community. I want to make an impact with whatever small contribution I can make and inspire others to do the same. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Sakhi

Through this project, I am planning to bring about gender-sensitive education among students through sessions regarding gender equality, empowering young girls to make decisions regarding themselves on their own and voice out opinions, and also help spread positive masculinity among young boys.

About the Millennium Fellow

Nasreen K Basheer is a bright young student pursuing a bachelor's degree in engineering at Government Model Engineering College. Working on campaigns about gender, queer rights, child rights, and other issues broadened her horizons and exposed her to real-world realities. She has also witnessed numerous instances in her community where women are denied a voice in decisions affecting their education, careers, or marriage. The deep roots of toxic masculinity and patriarchy are difficult to overcome, but starting small and early is critical. She aspires to make a difference in all of these fields one step at a time, and being a Millennium Fellow is one of the best ways to do so.
