Joint Women's Programme

The conversations we have with boys today shape the communities we live in tomorrow.

JWP’s first workshop with adolescent boys, in collaboration with Verdict Today The Verdict Today , was a reminder that creating change starts with creating space.

Led by Adv. Madhulika, the session explored the POCSO Act, children’s legal rights, gender stereotypes, and gave the boys an opportunity to reflect on something equally important, their own dreams and aspirations.

Too often, boys are expected to “just know” how to navigate respect, relationships, emotions, and responsibility. But these conversations aren’t automatic, they need spaces where they can be asked, explored, and understood.

Because when we raise boys who question stereotypes, understand boundaries, and dream without limiting others, we’re not just changing individual mindsets, we’re building stronger, safer communities.

Here’s to many more conversations that matter.
