In keeping with its mission and long-term goals, TARSHI has developed
initiatives and activities to raise awareness of sexuality and rights
issues through public events, publications, campaigns and sessions in
schools and colleges.
TARSHI has conducted various public education and advocacy activities in
partnership with other NGOs to create a broader public understanding
about women’s rights, sexuality, gender and violence. TARSHI has held a
stall at Dilli Haat as a part of the popular annual fair, Nature Bazaar
for nine years since 1997. TARSHI has also participated and organized
events around the International Women’s Day, International AIDS day, and
the International Campaign to Stop Violence against Women and Girls.
TARSHI has been actively involved in the Campaign for Lesbian Rights
(1998) and Voices Against 377.
As a part of an on-going outreach program we are constantly reaching out
on important social issues through art, theatre, films, workshops,
publications and the print and electronic media. TARSHI has also
conducted programs in schools, colleges and other institutions in an
effort to create open spaces that facilitate training, learning,
discussion and sharing amongst administrators and young people alike.
In addition to disseminating sexuality information through books and
pamphlets in English and Hindi, posters, games, and message T-shirts,
TARSHI has collaborated with Delhi-based organisations to host Opinion
Polls on issues related to sexuality education for young people, rights
of people living with HIV/AIDS, sexuality concerns of people with
disabilities etc. |
