Steering towards social change
The New Indian Express
|March 12, 2025
IN the early hours of March 6, the Madras Seva Sadan, Tambaram, was a catalyst of change.
Twenty-odd auto rickshaws were parked in a semi-circle. Unlike the yellow and black ones, these were vibrant blue, red, orange and green spray-painted ones that carried brand names and logos. A board that read 'Sisterhood- Let's Goa Rickshaw Rally 2025' was placed on the rickshaw's hood.
Fifty-seven women from The Sisterhood Group, a UK-based organisation, dressed in khaki shirts, sat in the driver's seat, with two other passengers. The rally, organised by The Sisterhood Group, in collaboration with Madras Midtown Round Table 42 (MMRT42) and Madras Midtown Ladies Circle 7 (LC7), went on a six-day trip to Goa to raise funds and press the need for girls' education and skills training for women.
