Indra Global Congress 2015

Prerna Girls School and Vidyasthali School participated in the Indra Global Congress 2015. Ms. Nishu Singh, Ms. Ruby Verma , Ms. Navratri, Ms. Kritika Maurya and Ms. Shreya Singh were part of the team that represented India at the Congress.

The event was an opportunity for young people to come together and share their practice, ideas and experience. Girls presented a play titled ‘Izzat’ that roughly translates as ‘honor’ in English. The play attempts to explore dimensions of their own sexuality i.e, – desire, their right to it, their control over their own bodies, the dangers and risk around this, family definitions of ‘honour’ – izzat and how they perpetuate subordination of girls, limit their lives and how girls feel about this.
