ADECOM Network

On 20.11.22 , our Fellow organized Masculinity training for Men & Boys in Pakkam & Thulukanatham Village, Villupuram District. In the training, coordinator reminded the training conducted so far and then gave feedback to the youth one by one. In the feed back , men and women should be equal but first it was done in our home I could not try to make a change because my mother did not accept it. People in our village told me that the people in the neighborhood will speak and it will be difficult for me. The coordinator asked what you said. I said that to my mother and when I asked her what she said, they refuse to accept it. So what should I do? And they asked me to make a change and she said that first you tell mother about the problems faced by women and if you help them then explain to them how their progress will be Then another young man my sister has completed her B.Com, I understood through your training I asked my sister to continue her studies but she told me to go to college It is difficult to go, the college is far away, so I can’t go, so the girls are not interested. He asked what to do about it. The coordinator asked if there is no bus facility for that. He said that there is a bus but she is afraid to go. You need to find out if they have a problem while traveling or what other problem they are having and need to give advice on that. One of the feed back by the participant understood what gender equality, got an understanding to give women a balanced diet, to help women. we are doing some work like fetching water. Totally 39 participants.
