Balika Panchayat monthly meeting held on 22.04.2024 at  Thenpasaru village, Tindivanam taluk.The School teacher Ms. Shanmukha Sundari participated in this meeting. ADECOM Women’s Dignity Centre Coordinator Mr. Lakshamipathy and PLV Ms. Revathi, Psychological Counsellor. Mr. Ettiyappan are coordinating this meeting. The members of the Balika Panchayat were divided into two groups, one group of boys and adolescent girls and one group of girls and adolescents. Discussions are first made about situations in our lives. Both groups scored. The second is about celebrating the birth of the baby and naming the baby and health services for the baby in two groups. Questions were asked and discussed in groups separately and finally boys and girls were said to be equal with examples. Equal sharing of work in educating children is considered to be very important. The children were told that if there are children in their area who have lost a single parent, they should file a petition at the Villupuram District Child Protection Office. It was also emphasized that there are no differences of opinion between men and women. From the moment we are born, we are brought up with gender discrimination as male and female. This unknowingly within us we grow up with the societal view that this is how men are and this is what women should be. Women are equal to men, today women are participating in all activities that men can achieve, women are growing in all fields, women are equal to men in all tasks, so men should do these things, we should not stand aside saying that we can’t, both men and women are equal. Therefore, as women are equal to men, opinions were asked among the members and as examinations were being held, it was captured that everyone should study well. Stay safe at home during the summer holidays. Safety and memory development of children were discussed through group sports.19 members participated in this meeting.
