Creating Strong, Self-Reliant Women: Insights from the Kishori Meeting

A Kishori Meeting was recently held at the Soneshwar Umeed Center to empower adolescent girls through education, awareness, and skill-building activities. The initiative aimed to motivate the girls and provide them with essential life skills that would support their personal growth as well as their social development.

During the session, the participants watched the inspirational film “Phool”, which conveyed important messages about values, self-confidence, and making positive life choices. The movie not only engaged the girls but also encouraged them to reflect on real-life challenges and adopt meaningful lessons.

In addition, a Self-Defense Training session was organized to strengthen their courage, confidence, and practical skills. The training introduced techniques every adolescent girl should know for her safety and empowerment. Trainers inspired the participants to stay alert, trust their abilities, and face situations with resilience.

A total of 57 girls took part in the meeting with great enthusiasm. Their active participation and vibrant energy made the program truly impactful. The session fostered a safe and supportive environment where the girls could learn, share experiences, and grow together.

This initiative marks another step towards nurturing a generation of confident, self-reliant, and empowered young women who are prepared to face the future with strength and determination.
