Dear All,
Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI)! “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”-Simone de Beauvoir Women in most parts of the world even today can’t make their own choices, and wear, speak, or do what they want. The list of challenges is long and what to say if she is blind? It takes more than courage to step out leaving the fears behind of not just ourselves but even our loved ones and more over stepping on to a journey which is far from the safety of her loved ones. Walking and creating a path is not an easy task for an able-bodied girl, but when it comes to a girl with disability her challenges are different. The aim is not to glorify the challenges rather look at how at every step, women have fought back to make their voices heard and stand up for their rights! Come and join us along with your parents or guardians as we discuss along with the parents and siblings the journey of 3 bold brave and successful women who chose to challenge and created a niche for themselves. let’s be inspired to do more to make our voices heard, make our presence felt, and break all boundaries and stereotypes that hold us back.
