The example set by a woman leader

[Divya Sarma]

Samraksha recently organized an inspiration sharing event for community volunteers to share their experiences. 

 

This is a powerful sharing by a woman leader Parvatamma on how she helped fight stigma in the community through her personal action and ensured adequate livelihood for women affected by HIV in her community.

The video of her sharing, along with subtitles can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk5P7u4-xSE

Hi Divya,

 

Community leaders can play a key role in stimulating community response. thanks for this inspiring story. I am just trying to understand what prompted the woman leader to take the lead in addressing stigma. Was it after the SALT team visited her village?

 

Warmly,

Rituu

Great sharing! Parvatamma demonstrated that she had no fear.
