It is very refreshing to see the girls’ active participation, not only in education but different skill development courses, football, self defense, etc. Through education, they achieve knowledge, but through the other activities of CEQUIN, they are gaining confidence and self-esteem in themselves. Jamia University is happy to help CEQUIN in the future also.

In this programme football is being used as a powerful tool to help girls step beyond the limitations imposed by the social environment, enabling them to build confidence, leadership, and agency.

After listening to the youth speak today, their stalls and charter of demands - I’ve realised that the dreams and expectations of the youth of Mewat are limitless, and small steps like these will lead to a changing world. Unfortunately Mewat has seldom got opportunities to show its achievements. Corporates have a big role to play here, to ensure that the district is celebrated for the right reasons. Our efforts for a changing Mewat will become a model not just for the state but the entire country

CEQUIN has strived hard to make its place in Mewat by conducting a study of the literacy culture in this rural district of Haryana. Their outreach to all the schools, interventions in the KGBVs and communities in Mewat is building towards a better future for the women and girls who have for so long been downtrodden; while also giving them an opportunity to open up, discover and explore more about themselves.

CEQUIN through its approach of involvement of men and boys in the struggle of a gender just society has always managed to incorporate innovative means in order to create a resonance around the pressing issue of GBV. With a team of dedicated individuals and passionate activists, it has always demonstrated a ‘never give up’ attitude for realization of its goals of an inclusive, peaceful and violence free society. I wish them all the best for their future endeavors.

One year back I could not have even imagined playing football in my own school ground. But thanks to CEQUIN for supporting me throughout and making me believe in my talent! I feel so proud of myself to be a part of this league!

Ever since CEQUIN has started its sports camps and football here at our school, the attendance of girl students has gone up to 100% within weeks ! This is the magic - everyday they run into school with a big smile on their face.”

CEQUIN’s awareness raising and sensitization workshops with students is one of the most exciting interventions I have seen. What is truly unique and refreshing about it is that besides working with the girls, CEQUIN is involving and engaging the interest of the boys and this makes a huge difference in creating change in the community.
