Once again Olakh team along with local enthusiastic youth groups  came together to celebrate  second  संवाद स्व से समस्त on 8^th March, 2017, International Women’s Day. We were very fortunate to witness revolutionaries and visionaries sharing their passionate journeys with us.   

Abha and Vibhuti

This Samvad introduced us to the life stories of Abha and Vibhuti, how they fought the patriarchal mindsets and opened the doors of freedom for them, by standing with their thoughts and strong will, to fight for them to live independently and fulfil their dreams of open spaces for women and bridge the gap of men and women inequality.

Laxmi Agrawal:

This girl, who fought acid attack, is today helping other girls and women all over India and in the world to combat the sufferings. Down the line after 12 years from that incident she is the Director of Chhanav Foundation which continues to rehabilitate council and fight for the rights of the acid attack victims.

“He changed my face,not my heart.He threw acid on my face,not  my dreams”- Laxmi
