A Global volunteer program for individuals to connect with adolescents to help initiate friendly conversations about positivity and self awareness through creative activities and informal discussions. Online programme. Total 6 weeks. 1.5 hrs/wk. To volunteer write to info@redballoonglobal.com

"Victims of sexual abuse get blamed, are unfairly labelled and worst, they're told to ignore what has happened. Their freedom and respect is further compromised at the hands of family and society. We want to tell everyone to stop ignoring the injustice and instead empower us by making us feel heard and supported", said these 4 young change makers from Dharavi when asked what needs to be addressed in their community while discussing sexual harassment and what they would like to address through their film.
