Dear All: I, Ms. Binni Kumari on behalf of Project Dignity Team share the report on it's session III:
REPORT DIGNITY WORKSHOP Session 3: Date: 13/09/2015 (Sunday) Time: 11 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Venue: The Silver Linings office: 164B PocketA, Mayur Vihar, Phase II, and and East Delhi. Total number of Dignity Lady Members present: 13. There were 7 new members and 6 regular members. There were 11 members with varied degree of vision impairment, and we had 2 sighted non disabled members. Age group of the present Dignity members was from 21 up to 57 years. Main topics covered during the Dignity Session III were, Confidence and Sexuality. The session started with the purpose of the Project Dignity. This project aims at discovering one’s own attributes, attitude, real self and a way forward towards realizing one’s own worth and working towards achieving the same, helping each other realize that the responsibility of where we are in life at any point, is absolutely our own. So it is very important to discover our own strengths and weaknesses, so we can work towards making the required changes to be able to continue to walk on the path of success. To live with a purpose and become contributors and make the most of all that one has! This was followed by the session on Confidence. In this session, each one of us was asked to define what the words confidence and Dignity meant to us. Tools were shared with us as to how we could practice on our own, to further build and develop confidence and self-esteem. This was followed by lunch. Post lunch, we embarked on the session on sexuality, specifically keeping in mind the requirements of visually impaired females. Here each member very openly shared our understanding about sexuality. We talked about menstrual cycle, how sexuality is understood in our society, our understanding about sex and sexuality due to lack of eyesight, etc. Moving forward: We plan to take up various topics like personality, sexuality, socialization, health, etc. for each one of us to be able to benefit from the Dignity workshops. We plan to conduct Dignity session 4 on body image and communication under sexuality and personality in the next month. We will indicate the date as soon as it has been confirmed. Project Dignity requests each existing and potential participant to maintain the continuity in their participation, for stealing concrete benefits out of the sessions. However, in case you are a girl/lady, you are welcome to come join the Dignity workshops, to discover the value you may find for yourself! With best regards, Project Dignity Team!
