They are excluded from family decision-making process and treated as passive subjects. In order to bring a change, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.educategirls.ngo\/\"><strong>Educate Girls<\/strong><\/a> empowers upper primary school girls by organizing them into\u00a0Bal Sabhas, a concept that exists within the school framework and has been adapted to girls only. The democratically elected Girls\u2019 Councils stimulate participation in school and life through regular Life Skills activities. Roleplaying and storytelling activities help boost communication, leadership, critical thinking and problem solving skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These skills, conveyed through interactive games, have proven to be a powerful driver for change in the girls\u2019 lives, giving them confidence to speak up in a group and thus to advocate for girls\u2019 leadership. The Indian\u00a0Governance Knowledge Centre chose to document our initiative as a best practice because it targets adolescent girls that are generally neglected in society. Girls\u2019 rights and entitlements as individuals are emphasized through all our efforts, programs and campaigns. <a href=\"http:\/\/indiagovernance.gov.in\/bestpractices.php?id=1071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Read the full case here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Twitter: #educategirls #balsabha #lifeskills<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian Governance Knowledge Centre\u00a0has recognized\u00a0our Advocate for Girls\u2019 Leadership Program\u00a0as a Best Practices Model.
