00:00We also have our initiatives, our particular target of issues and we would say that we can highlight them, how
00:10we can talk about them
00:12and how we can, the narrative building that we have done or issues that we have normalized them
00:20and with the internalization and what we have normalized them, they become a part of our society.
00:27So as an organization, we find it and I personally find it very important that
00:32what we have in our society, we will tell them first and recognize that this is an issue.
00:38For example, a child goes to school and she feels harassment in public transport.
00:45So to me, it is not natural, it is not something that it is happening and it is happening.
00:51It is an issue.
01:00To me, it is not natural that I would say family and marriage system is like this. No, it is
01:07somewhere happening at the cost of our mental health.
01:10It is taking toll on the mental health of a child.
01:13So that's how we work with the women and the girls.
01:18So that we develop an empowered personalities.
01:24We develop healthy minds especially.
01:27Because we find and we recognize it as an organization that women has the greatest role to play in a
01:34society and she is the pillar of the society.
01:36As much as healthy and wealthy it will be, physically, mentally, socially, that will lead our nation, I think, to
01:45the highest level.
01:45Look, when we talk about gender issues, we don't see any of them differently.
01:52They are interconnected.
01:53When one place has a problem in your life, they reflect different places.
01:58For example, when one child has a problem in childhood,
02:01it also reflects their life after marriage.
02:07So there are so many issues.
02:09Like domestic violence, divorce rates, drug abuse.
02:17And now women are getting involved in drugs.
02:19Now you can see that women are drug peddlers.
02:24And women are also using drugs.
02:27So I think this is a very serious concern.
02:30We will say that this is the problem, this is the problem.
02:38So in order to tackle the issues, we have to see that it is not one gender issue.
02:45Each and every issue, that is the issue of the community, that is the issue of the society and humankind
02:52at large.
02:53My representation in the UNHRC, that was about the transition of women and girls in Jammu and Kashmir.
02:59There are specific indicators that we trace in education.
03:04How is women performed in education?
03:08What is political participation?
03:11What is economic participation?
03:12What is social participation?
03:15What is the kind of transition in awareness level?
03:20What is the issue of the human rights?
03:21How is the human rights?
03:22What is the human rights?
03:22And with the human rights and duties.
03:24Especially there was another event about digital literacy and access to the Internet.
03:33So if we look at Kashmir, we are going through a huge transition.
03:39And we are going through a huge transition.
03:42In a way, you will find that every woman is trying to develop some kind of skills.
03:49If there was a skill or someone who has worked in the market or in any platform to cash.
03:58For example, someone is good in teaching.
04:00They are going into the online teaching.
04:03Or they are good in marketing.
04:04They work from home.
04:06How many opportunities have opened us from home.
04:08Because there is the Internet.
04:10Likewise, you will see you have women in the kitchen.
04:13They have opened a business with the government's.
04:16Or some of our Kashmir's handicrafts.
04:20They are selling it in the global markets.
04:22They are selling it in the international markets.
04:23So how is that possible?
04:24That's possible that when people have awareness.
04:27I can utilize this.
04:30I have an opportunity.
04:31I have a market.
04:31I have an access to that market.
04:33So that goes through a whole transition phase.
04:36And once people are given awareness.
04:38Once people are given the access.
04:40I think they do wonders.
04:41And that's how Krishmiri women are doing right now.
04:44Women's issues.
04:45Or our society's issues.
04:48They have got normalized now.
04:53You live in life.
04:53You say that this is our norm.
04:55This is just like this.
04:57This is just like this.
04:58Girls, the future of girls is uncertain.
05:04We are not ready to take the responsibility.
05:08And we are not ready to question some system.
05:10Question some practice.
05:12Question the culture.
05:13If we put that at the time.
05:14If we have a culture hurts.
05:15We are not ready to get up and see that.
05:19How is which problems bring our society back to us?
05:22Do we have to accept this problem?
05:22So, this is the challenge.
05:25Internalization.
05:27Normalization.
05:28It was great.
05:30I feel like this is a problem.
05:33So, that's the challenge.
05:39Internalization.
05:40Normalization.
05:40And a hegemony created.
05:41especially the women, but it's not necessary we want women who are political leaders,
05:46can't they be social leaders, can't they do their community,
05:51you know?
