Rubaroo Nalini నళిని نليني நளினி नलिनी Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 United Way of Hyderabad Bewajah Love Matters India Youth Ke Bol Catalyst 2030 Haiyya Youth Ki Awaaz BehanBox Gender roles restrict a person to a definition of “normal” that dismisses their inner world. Our exploration of Heteronormativity (agentsofishq.com/post/what-is-h…) explores gender roles, and how they may restrict us from doing things that we like, which are seen as “not normal”.

Last Question of #GubbareForPride
How do you express your support for LGBTQIAP+ community?
#PrideActivism #CourageousConversations #EmergingLeaders #CollaboratingForInclusion #BreakingBarriers #ChallengingNorms #ShatteringLabels #AdvocatingForInclusion #TogetherForChange #Yuvaa

Rigid and traditional gender roles and norms influence decision-making and autonomy over our own bodies and choices; they have a profound impact on us psychologically and socially. Moreover, they affect access to comprehensive sexuality, family planning services, and SRH. [Cont]

Rubaroo Creating a space of open conversation is tantamount to talking about the interactions between gender and power without feeling judged or attacked for our notions on gender.

What impact can rigid gender expectations have on individuals?

#CourageousConversations #EmergingLeaders #BreakingBarriers #ChallengingNorms #ShatteringLabels #AdvocatingForInclusion #TogetherForChange #GubbareForPride #Yuvaa #AgentsofIshq

Apart from our anti-discriminatory policies, we ensure opportunities and safe spaces to leaders and change makers from marginalized communities.
