JOURNAL WORKSHOP

The 10th class from Dawn High School developed the following journal questions and helped the girls answer them:

1.Who am I? What is my identity? What do I like?

2.What are my goals and dreams? What do my parents think about these thoughts?

DRAMAS

The 10th class from Dawn then presented 2 skits on eve-teasing to show the girls how to be bold and stand up to teasing:

In this skit the girls from Dawn High School pretended to dress up as boys and school girls. The “boys” teased the school girls as they walked by with their books. This happens three times, and on the third day the girls show the boys who is boss by fighting back.

SHOWING GIRLS HOW TO STICK UP FOR THEMSELVES

In this skit, two girls, Ramsha and Miriam get teased by walking to the park. At first they try to ignore the boys. Finally, Ramsha, who is the bold girl, stands up to the boys by telling them to go home and leave her and her friend alone. The girls then make it to the park in peace. Ramsha shows Miriam, who is very shy, the importance of standing up to boys.

DEBATE

The last and final part of the curriculum was to do a debate on girl power: The topic was, Should Girls Have Freedom?

Speak Up!

The girls from Dawn High School split up into two teams and did a mock debate. Team A argued that girls should not have freedom. But, they lost to Team B, because Team B persuaded everyone that girls are trustworthy, independent, have the right to education and jobs and the same rights as boys!
