This slideshow is the final presentation of Dawn High School's participation in Design for Change.

2. WHO WE ARE
Dawn High School is located in the Diwan Devdi
neighborhood of the Old City of Hyderabad, India with a
student body of 700.
The 10th standard girls participated in Design For Change
India. Their project was to stop eve-teasing by making
girls feel bold and empowered.

3. FEEL
The 10th class girls came up with a list of problems in their
community that made them feel angry, the biggest one
being eve-teasing.
What is eve-teasing?
Definition: Eve-teasing is an attitude, a mindset, a set of
behaviors that are insults and acts of humiliation toward
females.

4. IMAGINE
imagined a curriculum where they could
The 10th class girls
empower girls by making them bold to stand up to eve-
teasing. Their curriculum consisted of:
• Journal Workshop
• Dramas
• Debates

5. DO
This
is
their
STORY…

6. SCHOOL VISIT
The 10th class traveled to a nearby government school to present their
curriculum to the 9th and 10th standard girls.

7. JOURNAL WORKSHOP
The 10th class from Dawn High School developed the following journal
questions and helped the girls answer them:
1.Who am I? What is my identity?
What do I like?
2.What are my goals and
dreams? What do my parents
think about these thoughts?

8. JOURNAL WORKSHOP
Girls get the
chance to write
down their goals
and dreams and
practice writing
in English.

9. HELPING GIRLS REFLECT ON THEIR DREAMS
The girls were able to practice
their speaking skills by sharing
what they wrote with the group.

10. DRAMAS
The 10th class from Dawn then presented 2 skits on eve-teasing to show the
girls how to be bold and stand up to teasing:
In this skit the girls from Dawn High School
pretended to dress up as boys and school
girls. The “boys” teased the school girls as
they walked by with their books. This
happens three times, and on the third day the
girls show the boys who is boss by fighting
back.

11. SHOWING GIRLS HOW TO STICK UP FOR THEMSELVES
In this skit, two girls, Ramsha and Miriam get teased by walking to the park. At first
they try to ignore the boys. Finally, Ramsha, who is the bold girl, stands up to the
boys by telling them to go home and leave her and her friend alone. The girls then
make it to the park in peace. Ramsha shows Miriam, who is very shy, the
importance of standing up to boys.

12. DEBATE
The last and final part of the curriculum was to do a debate on girl power:
The topic was, Should Girls Have Freedom?
Speak
Up!
The girls from Dawn High School split up into two
teams and did a mock debate. Team A argued
that girls should not have freedom. But, they lost
to Team B, because Team B persuaded
everyone that girls are
trustworthy, independent, have the right to
education and jobs and the same rights as boys!

13. GIRL POWER!

14. GIRLS IN ACTION

15. WHAT WE LEARNED
 Eve-teasing is never acceptable
 Girls have the right to be bold and stand up for
themselves
 Making sure that girls are confident and strong
translates into girls that will pursue their higher
education and land good jobs, two basic rights
that girls everywhere in the world have!

16. Thank
