LET THE SPIRIT MOVE - Key Persons
Danvir Singh from Gonda, District. Aligarh (U.P.) has become a role model for the entire village by breaking gender stereotypes. It was during one of the gender sensitization workshops organized by LET THE SPIRIT MOVE, when Danvir Singh realized how excessive workload on women could have serious repercussions on their health. Danvir woke up early next morning and headed to the village hand pump to fetch water for the first time, and that too on an empty stomach. The moment he lifted the filled bucket, he experienced severe stomach cramps. It took him more than three days of rest and medicines to recover. Having now experienced how women suffer from similar pain, and yet are forced to work every day, Danvir now regularly helps his wife with household chores. Inspired by Danvir of village, men fetching water in the village has become a common sight today.
