A short film on Prerna Girls wins Amnesty International Media Awards

An article and short film on Prerna Girls School, written and produced by Shree Paradkar, Toronto Star race and gender columnist, won the Amnesty International Media Awards this year. The Amnesty International Media Awards are a unique set of awards that pay tribute to the best human rights journalism in the UK. The piece captures Prerna’s use of critical feminist pedagogy to empower young girls from marginalized communities in order to help them break barriers of gender, caste, and class to claim their rights as equal persons, deserving respect and having the right to live a life of their own choosing.
