A few days ago, I was having a SALT discussion with my friend Tanmay about masculinity. During the discussion, two other young children came and sat next to us. We listened to them too. Their thoughts were very simple, but there was a great deal of understanding hidden in them. One child said— My father sometimes cooks, and my mother says he can cook well.…

When I started working on Masculinity at SALT, I thought that these discussions were only needed for the community. But gradually I realized — change was needed first within myself and around me.
How was I before?
Without knowing it, I often made decisions without giving importance to the opinions of female colleagues in the…

I have travelled to the depths of my understanding to reach the conclusion of this creation, hence this article is special for me. After joining this program, I was able to connect with people, talk to people, face people's perspectives in the community, understand the conflict between their understanding of their concerns and the root of their real problems. Based on that, I have come to the conclusion that the problem of any community (whose definition is known to everyone) or its members…
