Today and everyday, on Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of trans and non-binary individuals across the world. 🌈✨ Visibility is power—it challenges stereotypes, demands rights, and affirms identities. But beyond visibility, we need action: equal rights, safe spaces, inclusive representation and unwavering support. Let's uplift trans voices, honor their stories, and continue the fight for justice and dignity. 💜🏳️⚧️ #transdayofvisibility #tdov #transrightsarehumanrights #beyondvisibility #transbodies #transhealth #equalitymatters #translivesmatter #transrepresentation #transempowerment

Here we are, back with Part 2 of Understanding the Nuances of Consent, as promised! Consent is not just a simple yes or no—it exists across ability and disability, singlehood and partnerhood, cis-heterosexuality and trans-queersexuality, or even in our relationships with non-human beings. The more we acknowledge the diversity of lived experiences, the better we can respect boundaries in different situations. Let’s make expressing and respecting consent—beyond a binary—a daily practice!

Building dreams, one block at a time! 🌈✨ In our My Body My Rights community sessions with our adolescents from Deara and Kanthipota, we used Jenga and Lego not just as games, but as powerful tools for self-awareness, mental well-being, and leadership. 🎭💡 Through play, they explored aspirations, emotions, safe spaces, and conversations on empathy, body, and self. Every move, every piece placed, was a step toward self-improvement and understanding. Because learning happens best when it's fun and engaging! 🏗️❤️ #mybodymyrights #safespace #youthleadership #playtoempower #mentalhealthmatters #lego #jenga

Empowering young minds, one session at a time! 🚀✨ Under #ProjectTamanna of "My Body My Rights," we’ve been engaging with students across government-aided schools in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, sparking conversations on Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO), Digital Safety, Sexual-Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR), and Menstrual Health Management. From interactive sessions to peer leader meetings, students are learning, questioning, and taking charge of their health, bodies and rights! 📖💡 Plus, they get hands-on with Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) comics that make learning even more fun! 💬💜 Here’s a glimpse of these dynamic sessions at Bamanghata, Noyabad, Chawbhaga, Kheadaha, Ambika High Schools with our remarkable Tamanna facilitators! 🌍📚 #mybodymyrights #youthvoice #srhr #digitalsafety #menstrualhealth #pocso

How different would things be if we were taught about consent from childhood🌻—without victim-blaming or framing it as just self-protection? As we move forward from the festivities🎨, let’s continue being mindful of respecting each other's boundaries—both in and beyond the bedroom. Consent isn’t just about the other person saying "yes ✅" or "no❌"—it’s also about creating a space where they feel safe enough to express, change, or withdraw their consent at any time.✊🏽 And remember, consent isn’t limited by gender! We’ll dive deeper into that in Part 2, so stay tuned!🌈 Credits : Illustration- Amo Content - Tista Nandi #consentmatters #holi #askbeforeyouassume #safespace #gendersensitivity

Womanhood is not one story—it’s a million voices, a million battles, a million triumphs. ✨ we celebrate ALL women—across race, class, ability, and identity. Married women, Single women, Trans women, disabled women, women of color, queer women, working-class women—your existence, your resistance, and your joy matter. This Women's Day and everyday, we honor not just progress but the fight that continues, the voices that rise, and the power we build together. Because liberation is collective. Because every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. ♀️✊🏽🏳️⚧️♿💜

In the villages of Kantipota, Goalbati, and Kolarkhal in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal we engaged in meaningful conversations with mothers about the importance of empowering their daughters and children. Organized by the active mothers of our peer leaders, this gathering encouraged more women to support their daughters in attending our SRHR sessions. Together, we discussed anatomy, menstrual health, child marriage, and the need for open conversations around bodily autonomy. Step by step, we are fostering a future where young girls can make informed choices and claim their rights. ✨💜 #empowermothers #srhreducation #menstrualhealth #endchildmarriage #rangeenkhidkifoundation
