Abstract | During my seven-week internship at a non-governmental organization focused on women's rights, I explored the theme "From Fear to Freedom: Rethinking Women’s Security in India." The internship involved extensive fieldwork, research, and direct engagement with communities to understand the complex realities surrounding women’s safety. A significant part of my work included interacting with 20 adult women and 15 teenage girls from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Through open conversations, informal interviews, and awareness sessions, I gained valuable insights into the everyday challenges these women and girls face regarding personal safety, mobility, social norms, and access to justice. Many shared experiences of street harassment, domestic restrictions, and the fear of speaking out, revealing a culture of silence and normalization of violence. Teenage girls expressed concerns about their safety in schools, public transport, and online spaces. Despite these challenges, there was a strong desire among participants to break free from fear and demand better systems of support, protection, and empowerment. The experience highlighted the importance of shifting the narrative from victimhood to agency and emphasized the need for community-led approaches, education, and policy advocacy. This internship deepened my understanding of gender security and reinforced my commitment to working toward an inclusive and safe society for women and girls. |
