FAT's Executive Director blogs about the challenges and dilemmas we face as we work with girls and on girls' rights.

When I started my internship with FAT, I had the opportunity to become part of the mobilization process to recruit the next batch of girls that will attend the computer classes and workshops in the FAT Tech Center, starting in April 2016.

I love working with the girls who come to the Tech Center. Together we play, learn, work, and talk about what we love, our likes and dislikes. They come to FAT to learn computer skills, but as time goes by, they realize that they start understanding themselves better. They want to know who they are, and what they can do with their lives. - Rekha

Being a part of the administrative staff at FAT, I don’t get too many chances to interact with the girls from the Tech Center, and know little about their struggles. I was asked to go for a community visit to our student, Afsana’s home to find out why she had suddenly dropped out of the EFM project. - Faiza

Varsha is one of FAT's emerging young women leader. She recently joined FAT as an Intern at our Tech Center. Few months back, she attended a gender training organized in Himachal Pradesh and it was her first time going out of Delhi with friends rather than with family. She narrates her experience as she writes her first blog!

We have entered an intense and energetic fourth phase of the project on Early and Forced Marriage (EFM). This is a preparatory phase for the campaign against Early and Forced Marriage led by the group of 30 participating girls (participants of the EFM) from low-income urban communities in South Delhi. 

Rekha, an alumni of FAT's tech center, received a fellowship to do a study on how gender plays a role in course selection in ITIs and Polytechnic colleges in South Delhi. This blog narrates her findings. The full report (in Hindi) is also available to download.
