🎉Fursat Mein Serious Baatein Ep. 1 ft. Konkona Sen Sharma is OUT NOW! 🎙️Award-winning actor, and filmmaker Konkona Sen Sharma gives us a glimpse of her life LIKE NEVER BEFORE, as she kicks back with Sucharita, our host. 😡Is Konkona angry? How flexible is Konkona as a filmmaker? What's Konkona's relationship with her father like? How does patriarchy continue to prevail in cinema and how feminine do women need to be, really? 📣These are only some of the few themes we touched upon in this brilliant SEASON LAUNCH EPISODE that you can WATCH NOW! Our personal favourite? The bit where Konkona talks about how as a filmmaker, she aims to collaborate with people she trusts — something especially important in the context of the release of the Justice Hema Committee report this year. That got us thinking — What are some absolute non-negotiables that determine whom you collaborate with in your workplaces? WATCH THE EPISODE NOW and let us know in the comments' section below.Link to Ep 1 ft. Konkona Sen Sharma: https://lnkd.in/gEqkuf2ESucharita Tyagi | Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies

    In the village of Badshahpur, Breakthrough’sRoshan TaraRuchi's story is celebrated as a testament to courage and change. When she heard the cries of her neighbour, Geeta, suffering at the hands of her husband, Ruchi refused to stay silent. Despite initial reluctance from her parents, her determination sparked a conversation that changed everything. After all, a bright Class 9 student and part of Breakthrough’sTaaron ki Toli(TkT) programme for 3 years, Ruchi had learnt vital lessons on negotiation and gender equality. It was time to put these into action. Ruchi's compassion and courage, fueled by the lessons learned in TkT sessions, empowered Geeta to leave an abusive household and start a new life with her children. This journey wasn’t easy, but with Ruchi and her family’s support, Geeta found the strength to break free.Inspired by this experience, Ruchi aspires to become an IPS officer, not just to serve, but to actively fight against domestic violence and gender inequality. Her vision extends for the people beyond her village, advocating for a future where structurally marginalised communities are seen and heard. This International Day of the Girl Child, we’re celebrating Ruchi and many others like her who assertively question cultural norms that sanction gender-based violence and discrimination. Thanks to supporters like Oracle, ORACLE FINANCIAL SERVICES SOFTWARE LIMITED, Breakthrough’s work is creating a new generation of young changemakers like Ruchi to create a gender-equal world. Remember that change begins with one courageous step and when hundreds and thousands of Ruchis take that step, change will be inevitable.#SochBadlegi #GenderEqual #EndGBV

    Imagine a girl whose tomorrow is free of gender-based violence. Who can live, learn and work as she wants…Gender inequity runs deep. Everything from poverty to even climate change affects girls unequally. Still, in small villages of India—where early marriage and school dropouts are rampant—young girls continue to dream about studies and non-traditional careers. All she needs is the right support. This International Day of the Girl Child, we don’t just want to celebrate the girls whose aspirations fly high but also embolden their spirit so they continue to soar.With your support, Breakthrough will continue its efforts towards raising a new generation for whom gender-based violence is unacceptable. We will equip more and more girls and boys with the knowledge and confidence it takes to live up to their full potential and hope you join us in our endeavours. A better tomorrow starts today.

    What does a world with no gender-based violence or discrimination look like to you? It sounds impossible... but the truth is, it isn't. Not if enough people speak out and begin working towards it. Here's what we heard! #BolBuland

    What does a world without gender-based violence and discrimination look like to you? Sounds like a far-fetched dream, doesn't it? But we put that dream out into the universe... and people answered. This is what Shipra had to say! #BolBuland
