Women Empowerment

MukkaMaar

BNI Queens have championed the MukkaMaar cause of ensuring adolescent girls live a life beyond one ruled by gender-based violence.As an all-women chapter, they have been an incredible facilitator for women’s growth, networking and leadership. Standing by their core values, their unwavering commitment towards MukkaMaar's programs in equipping girls to confront violence and stay safe has been tremendous.Gender-based violence is an all-too-common reality for women and girls in India. It takes only INR 300 to support a girl for a month under MukkaMaar’s programs, which is less than what you spend on coffee. This comes up to INR 3,600 to support a girl for a year. With powerful Queens coming together to support MukkaMaar's work, we hope to empower 50+ girls to live their lives on their own terms, free from violence.

<blockquote>Self-defence is not just a set of techniques, it's a mindset, and it begins with the belief that you are worth defending. -Rorion Garcie</blockquote>The fear of sexual assault forms an ever-present backdrop of women's' lives, limiting them from exploring their true abilities.Adolescents who are victimised are up to 5 times more likely to be victimised later in life than those who are not (Humphrey &amp; White, 2000). 1 in 3 women in India face one or more forms of violence in her lifetime. Violence and the threat of violence strips girls of their basic rights and fuels societal barriers that limit them from achieving their full potential. There is enough evidence that suggests that a female is habituated to feel a prisoner of her own body, as she feels weak and helpless. She starts looking at the female body as a deterrent to her dreams, rather as a voice and agency to live her life fully. <a href="https://mukkamaar.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">MukkaMaar</a> works to build agency in adolescent girls with strong belief that if the perception of being weak and helpless is removed, something deeper is ignited in girls. We work in partnership with government schools, and every girl in 6, 7th and 8th standard gets bi-weekly MukkaMaar classes during school hours. Each 60 minute class is divided into physical and non-physical activities. We use fitness, physical and verbal self defence, identification of types of violence, boundary setting, assertiveness training, negotiation, forum theatre and much more, building a holistic curriculum delivered with effective pedagogy.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/48262333-84a6-4af5-9aea-89f81b47993d.JPG" style="display:block;margin:auto" width="590" /><blockquote>MukkaMaar girls feel safe, respond positively to threats, have greater confidence and self esteem, reject gender norms that don’t benefit them and have the skills to navigate social barriers that prevent her from living freely.</blockquote>Since 2018, MukkaMaar has trained 3K girls offline, 16K girls online and indirectly impacted ~50K girls through training government school PT teachers in gender sensitised pedagogy, consent, boundary setting and reflections in PE.
