This is the story of a superwoman and a youth activist Sajana Sunar who also runs our collaborative organisation Save girls, self defence campaign of Karnali province Nepal 🦋✨

“Originally, when I started to work as a volunteer for social change and justice, I focused on gender equality as well as equal and high-quality education. Later, however, I realized child marriage and chhaupadi (The women are banned from the house and are required to live in a cattle shed, or a menstruation hut, a makeshift dwelling, for the duration of their period.) are also major issues. This prompted me to start working on these issues. I set myself on a mission to start motivating young people to work like me and to join me on this journey. As a result, more than 400 campaigns have successfully been completed in three districts, handling child marriage, quality education, DRR (Disaster Risk Management) and sanitation, caste discrimination and gender equality. After the increase of rape cases and sexual harassment in Nepal, I have launched the Save girls self defence campaign. It has brought 20 schools and 3,000 girls awareness of self-defence and encouraged them to fight for justice. Nearly 4,000 young people have committed to contributing to social change. They are running campaigns of their own, in various locations, which really is the best part of it all. Thanks to them, more than 150 children are going to regular school and even receiving good marks. In addition, their parents are taking responsibility of their children.” Sajana Sunar
