Challenge & Selection

The challenge that really fascinates me is to create a home for all the girls who are left by  their husbands due to the various vices that exist in the society like demand for dowry, or due  to extra-marital affair of the husband, or are suffering beating at the hands of husbands due to  gender disparity or becoming a widow at an early age. There could be some other issues  which could be clubbed herein but the notion is clear to provide a home for the girls who  have been abandoned by her in-laws and who cannot go back to parental home due to  pressures of the society.

In India still a major portion of society living in semi-urban and rural areas is facing this  problem to a great extent. Females who are married away are asked to compromise with her  circumstances. Such females are not very well educated and they cannot stand on their feet so  they are physically and morally abused.

By way of story telling I would want to address this issue so that it touches the heart and  minds of people and makes them eager to see what I could see in the problem that exists in  the society. There could be various ways in which the story could be depicted, that may at  least put my message across to all those who may be suffering from such vices in the society.

This may encourage the females to at least break the glass ceiling and start living a life to  support themselves and the children. The tool that is chosen is storytelling because of the  message it will be able to transmit across to the members of the families who may be needing  such help.

The Government does come up with such projects but most of these projects are in the files  only without actual work done. There would be various Companies which might come  forward to fund and help out in such an initiative.

Not only would these stories reflect the reality of the society but we can be creative in  coming up with stories with different endings to create a positive impact in the minds of the  people.

Application

In this part the actual implementation of the idea will take place wherein the positive stories  of the girls who could break out of the shackles may be narrated by the ones who could do it  would leave a large impact in the minds of the investors as well as the girls or families which

are suffering at this current moment in time. For this we would be using multiple modes. The  first one would be having tie-ups with local schools, colleges & other NGOs which are doing  the similar works could be contacted for finding such people. Schools and colleges are  chosen because herein the teachers are in touch with the families and are aware of various  things happening around them. Then social media could also be harnessed to reach out to the  masses. There are many corporates which spend huge amounts on helping out in different  causes so as to fulfil their duties towards the society(CSR). They could also be made aware of  the rising number of cases that are spreading in the society.

Insight

The insight that I gained by using this tool immensely helped me in reflecting the issue to a  very great extent and helped me formulate the issue in a much better manner so that it could  become a problem which could reach a wider plethora of audience. The tool itself gives me a  lot of courage to go ahead with this idea and make it a workable solution so that it could  prove to be an idea that will work on Robinhood scheme – rob the rich(not exactly) and give  to the poor.

Approach

Now after doing the course I could go about using the different tools that I know of and the  tools that I have learnt over here and start implementing in my problem so that it could be  dealt in much better way compared to just having the idea in ones mind. I thank all those  people involved in this particular course to help me in framing my problem and coming up  with the various solutions so as to benefit my own thought process and getting solutions.
