STORYTELLING 

 INTRODUCTION 

 I work with a women oriented and welfare organisation . We organise and hold   out camps at different parts of the country , rural and urban both . Our first   objective is to – encourage the victims , survivors and the warriors of sexual   assault , physical abuse or of any other forms of oppression to come forward   and share their stories with us and also with other such victims , raise their   voice against their abusers , and we also try & help them to report those   wrongdoers to the women crime investigation cells , that is if they ’re ready to . 

 Our second main objective is to educate those girls and women regarding the   human and women rights . 

 CHALLENGE 

 As much as I love getting to do the things that we do , I am afraid I do n’t share   the same feeling when it comes to the challenges that we are hit with quite   frequently than not . There are several challenges that our organisation has to   face , but the one challenge that stands out the most amongst the others is –   the challenge of how to develop a connection with the women reluctant to   speak up , less report the wrongdoers . We work with a mixed female   population . And almost half of the females who have been wronged comes   from   conservative communities . They live in a perpetual fear of being judged   by the society for opening up about the unacceptable deeds that were or are   still being done to them . And also , they are oblivious or ignorant of the women   rights . 

 TOOLS 

 The tool that I selected for my challenge is the Storytelling tool . This tool is   used to put the human beings and their experiences front and centre . Take   listeners along on their journey . Create a more vivid image of what we are   trying to convey . 

 The reason that motivated me further to select this tool was :                                 I had a first hand experience with how effective can sharing stories prove to   be . When I was 17 , I was as unwilling as those women to recount my own   experience with physical abuse even privately , let alone publicly . Then one day   my aunt shared her own share of experience with the same and how she got   her abuser behind the bars . Her story encouraged me to speak up and report   my now ex - boyfriend , the guy who did wrong by me . 

 APPLICATION 

 I applied this particular tool with many females , but I will just be sharing my   first attempt at this tool . 

 A 22 year old beautiful woman living with her mother and a sister in this small   village in the outskirts of Kolkata , a metropolitan city here in India . It was the   village our organisation was conducting a day camp in . Around 60 girls and   women participated , some were confident enough to share their stories with   us , and some of the females were a little disinclined . So , this girl was   humiliated at first to share her story , her hands were clutching onto one   another , and she was having a difficulty making eye contact with me .               But once I started sharing my very own story with her and the other females   there , she started to become more and more at ease as the story continued . I   told her how I am no longer scared to admit that I have been in a physically   abusive relationship where I ’d let him make me feel like it was all my fault . And   then how one day my aunt ’s story encouraged me to not only leave him but   report him to the local police station too . Even though he was locked up for   just a night , his parents , friends , and everyone he knew got to know the 

 monster he so carefully kept concealed behind the persona of ‘ the perfect   boyfriend ’ . 

 Once I was done sharing my story and was almost done educating her and the   other women about their rights , this girl slowly stood up from her seat and   began sharing her story with us . Upon completing it , she said with a steel like   voice that she was going to tell that guy ’s parents all about his inhumane deed   and also , report him to the village police station .                                                   This is how I applied the tool to tackle the challenge , by sharing my own story . I   used the tool to achieve the two major objectives of our organisation . With the   aid of this tool I empower those women and educate them to stand for   themselves and their rights because no matter how many times I scream my   truth at the top of my lungs , it will cease to free them . They need to speak up ,   and have to reach out for help themselves , we are always there to extend it to   them . 

 INSIGHT 

 This was just the beginning of it . Many of the other members of the   organisation also adapted this tool . And the progress has been tremendous   since . This allowed me to build an affinity with those females , and liberate   them enough to trust me with their stories . Having even just one person share   their story of similar sort of incident can be very empowering and let the   listeners understand the message the speaker is trying to convey in a more    comprehensible way . This also let the one using this tool to better perceive the   problems of the listeners and other related challenges . 

 The application of this tool help me connect with those women and convey my   message without any misinterpretation . 

 APPROACH 

 The next time I will try and integrate this tool with other tools as well , like the   tool of journey mapping . I can use that tool to trace the journey of some of   those females , if not all as they go through the process of tackling against 

 oppression , speaking up , reaching out for help , in turn making the females   around them aware of their rights too .                                                                     This is going to be a long journey , one am ready to embark on .
