" By taking up this project I am able to exercise my position as a law student to spread awareness among people about the legal provisions surrounding sexual and reproductive health rights of women. Similarly, the Millennium Fellowship program has allowed me to meet people with similar ideas and goals which in turn will help me become a part of a bigger picture where I can help women and children in need. Becoming a Millennium Fellow will broaden my perspective and polish my leadership skills, all the while giving me a global exposure. By understanding the gravity of the problem that people face due to lack of awareness about sexual and reproductive health laws and the conversational gap present, I know that taking up this challenging project will aid me in bringing about a gradual but certain social impact which will only widen in the future. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Meraki: For all
The educated and progressive classes of India still shy away from the mere fact that there is a need to be aware of one’s sexual and reproductive health. This project aims to start a dialogue on a topic that is still considered taboo, even in the most metropolitan areas of India, namely, Sexual and Reproductive Health. The dialogue around this topic is not something new but we hope to bring in a new approach.
Our main focus will be to present a legal perspective on these issues and raise awareness about the rights and provisions provided to people regarding Menstruation and menstrual leave, Sex education/Consent/Contraceptives.
During the course of this project, we would be focusing on students across different law universities and informal women workers (housekeeping and maintenance staff) on our campus and familiarizing them with these concepts as well as their rights.
