ADECOM Network

on 23rd September 2022, our fellow organized masculinity training in Mangalam Village , Puducherry. In this meeting, the session on gender-based socialization, desire to have a son, division of work based on gender, allocation of workload, prioritization, restriction of movement of girls and women was reminded. Then the youth were asked to give their feedback on what they have learned through training and what has changed in your family. They said that the youths also thought that we were providing security to women but only after participating in this training did they realize that there is no security and restrictions have been imposed. I thought that women are just idle at home but they realized how much income they can earn if they go out and do the work they do at home all day. Then the coordinator asks you to share what you learned and how you changed it in your family at the next meeting The young people said yes and then their feedback was videotaped and then given in writing.
