Sai University | Chennai, India | Advancing SDG 5, SDG 4 & UNAI 6

" Being someone who is always optimistic and passionate about bringing change to the world through my work, is something that drew me to the Millennium Fellowship. Some of the issues that are close to me and my aspirations of becoming a diplomat are Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Peace, Environment and Sustainability, No Poverty (SDG 01), etc. I believe by becoming a fellow of Millennium Fellowship, I will be able to acquire the qualities of a leader and budding diplomat who can think critically along these lines. I am excited at the same time looking forward to benefiting from the knowledge and experience of my fellow mates of the Class of 24. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project PonVizhi
Project PonVizhi, consisting of eight undergraduate students, is an organisation that aims to raise awareness about sexual assault, domestic abuse, and child sexual harassment in particular. We aim to educate people on the steps that can be taken to report harassment and seek help in terms of their mental well-being. The target audience of the program is school and college students. When we were school students, there were no committees or legal mechanisms that provided redressals to child sexual harassment survivors or conducted events to spread awareness on gender rights and sexual harassment prevention in our schools or in other educational establishments like coaching centers. Cases of child sexual harassment often go unreported. We seek to raise awareness among kids and young adults (both girls and boys this time, as our educational systems often leave boys out of this) on what counts as harassment, because abuse comes in all forms, and goes much deeper than “good touch and bad touch”. We intend to push educational establishments to have POSH centres. Also, if possible, educate parents, teachers, and guardians on how to respond to children when they confide in them. As a survivor of sexual assault, it is difficult to navigate a world that turns a blind eye towards victims. Through this program, we aspire to create a community that will provide a safe space and support for people, particularly, girls and women who have been through abuse and sexual assault.
