INTRODUCTION This graphic novella was created with Meenu, age 19, in New Delhi, India. During her teenage years, Meenu often felt too scared to leave her house due to persistent “eve-teasing,” India’s term for sexual harassment. Gender-based violence and inequality between the sexes are pervasive problems throughout India, and contributed greatly to Meenu’s feelings of vulnerability and hopelessness. One day, by chance, Meenu discovered an organization called the Feminist Approach to Technology (FAT), and learned how to value herself and take charge of her life. FAT is a grassroots organization committed to empowering adolescent girls through technology courses coupled with workshops on self-esteem, caste and class, reproductive health and cultural issues. Believing that harnessing technology can
help girls attain equity and equality in school and the workforce, FAT empowers each girl to meet her full potential by building up her tech skills and, more importantly, her confidence. Meenu’s story is part of the Grassroots Girls Book Club graphic novella series that depict the true stories of six incredible girls. Each girl co-authored her own story, which was then illustrated by an emerging female artist. These graphic novellas were created to show that positive change is happening for girls, and to help raise awareness for the many girls who still are in urgent need of support from organizations like FAT. Meenu’s hope is that her story will inspire you to discuss the issues facing girls globally and learn more about the grassroots organizations that are changing girls’ lives for the better.
The Feminist Approach to Technology is supported by the Global Fund for Women, one of six funders that make up the Grassroots Girls Initiative. These funders believe that grassroots organizations are uniquely capable of meeting the needs of the most underserved adolescent girls in the communities where they work.

Look at all this laundry!
Little brother’s pants, sister’s salwar kameez, my jeans, mother’s sari. I’d rather be modeling these things than folding them! But with five siblings there are always chores to do.
I’m leaving for work Meenu. Don’t be late for work yourself.
Ok mom! I’ll leave now.
To think, just over a year ago I was afraid to leave my house and now I have my own career.
A lot can happen in a year!
3
This is my life. I don’t know anything else, but it could have been different if my father hadn’t died when I was 5 years old.
Even with six children, she had to go to work or we would be homeless. She’s always toiled tirelessly for us.
Because my father had a government job, by law we were allowed to stay in our governmentowned house as long as mother took a job at the government building. We were lucky to have it. I don’t know how we would have survived on my mother’s meager salary alone.
We’ve seen tough times. After my father’s death, our relatives were not there to support us.
Mother was scared for our future. She knew she alone was responsible for providing dowries for us girls. Our relatives told my mother that she shouldn’t waste money on educating her girls; she should just save for our dowries (payment to the groom’s family upon marriage).
When I was a girl in the village, dowry was only 2,000 rupees, now it is some laks, as much as 50 times more! AREY (oh my)!
4
Listen to me: Focus on your two boys! The girls we can just marry off early. Then they are someone else’s burden.
While my mother desires to support her daughters’ dreams, our relatives dialed up the pressure on her. When it was time for me to go to high school, my aunt and grandfather tried to discourage my mother from letting me continue studying.
What will Meenu and your other girls do with an education? They just need to know how to be good wives!
They will just be married off to become another’s property. It’s a waste of money to invest in their education.
I was never given a chance to learn how to support myself. And now, without my husband and without an education, every day is a struggle. I want to give my girls something better.
But they DESERVE an education.
Then send them to the public high school for a few years. At least you won’t waste money on them. Save your money to send your boys to the private school.
But…
Don’t think my grandfather is a monster. This is a common prejudice in India. Let me tell you about being a girl here…
It’s settled.

In India, many families just want sons. Traditionally, sons take care of the parents when they are old and financially provide for the family. In many minds, sons equal security. Some families may use ultrasound machines to see if it is a boy or a girl; women sometimes face pressure from their in-laws to only continue the pregnancy if they are carrying a boy. You’re only keeping it if it’s a boy.

Girls are given less food than boys.

Girls and their parents are often still expected to pay dowry to the groom’s family when they marry. This puts a huge financial strain on poor families and makes parents view girls as burdens that they must pay to get rid of.
About half of girls in India are married off before they turn 18.

Girls are expected to stay home, do all the housework and not go outside alone.
With no education and no decision-making power in the family or community, mothers pass down the same cultural and social practices that have kept them in the dark to their daughters.
7
It’s not easy to get anything in life and life without an education is a constant struggle. Even if girls like me get a chance to go to school, we have a lot more to worry about than crowded classrooms.
You might think, “Well at least Meenu gets to go to school.” It is something, but in India many public schools are underfunded, overcrowded and girls are often ignored. They lack money, teachers, textbooks and computers. It’s a real mess.
Did you see Abhay teasing Pari?
I can’t believe that. She’s too smart to fall into his trap.
AREY KYA (oh my gosh)! He’s such trouble.
Attracting the attention of boys in India is a dangerous thing. Girls aren’t allowed to talk to boys. Everyone says it’s for our safety. If a girl’s reputation is damaged, even by gossip, her virtue will be ruined and she will bring shame to her family—or worse, violence to herself.
I heard she smiled at him.
Maybe, but Abhay won’t stop. He’s been after her for weeks!
Girls aren’t even allowed to go outside of the home alone. We always have to go with our parents or a male. My mother even made my little brother escort me home from school! We have no freedom.
If I see you talking to boys I will break your legs! Whatever it takes to keep you safe.
Look, I know my mom sounds a little crazy, but let me tell you... from the things I’ve seen, she has a right to worry.
8
Hey Pari, where are going? Who’s that Pari?
YAAR (dude), she’s cute.
I know Pari’s cousin. Pari is a good girl. She’ll never look at you.
Nevermind little brother. Let’s just get home.
HA! You don’t know her like I do.
Yeah Abhay? And how’s that?
ABHAY STOP IT! You have no right to harass me or touch me. Leave me alone!
9
Just watch.
Later that week… Did you hear what Pari did?
She told that Abhay to get lost!
Wow, she’s so brave. I could never stand up to a boy like that.
Did you hear about Pari?
Pari shouldn’t have stood up to him.
Oh, it’s terrible! Poor, poor Pari. She will never be married now.
How did Abhay even get the acid?
PAKKA (for sure), it’s better just to stay quiet.
Boys are dangerous when they’re embarrassed! Pari should have known better.
How could he do that?!? Mother was right: Never talk to boys! Never, never, never.
New Delhi can be dangerous for girls. We can’t go onto the streets or even to school without fear swallowing our hearts and poisoning our thoughts. But this is my home. Something must change. But what…? And how…?
*Acid violence happens to an estimated 1,000 people per year in India, most of them female, even though it is illegal.
10
Brother, can you go get some rice? Mother is making biryani for dinner.
Home is the only safe place. Even school isn’t safe for girls. HAI BHAGWAN (oh God)! Is there any life for girls in Delhi? I graduate soon and then what will I do? Hide at home day after day?
ACHA (ok), but come with me sis. You only go to school and then come home. You never come out with us anymore.
No brother. It’s safer at home. I’ll stay here.
Oh, Meenu did you hear that Samir was asking about you?
I heard he thinks you’ve got nice eyes.
Oh! How can you laugh? When has he seen my eyes? I don’t want any boy to ask about me! This is TERRIBLE !
My worst nightmare had come true!
11
HEY MEENU!
Hey Meenu! What are you doing after school today?
She doesn’t want to talk to you Samir.
Oh no! Samir is waiting for me. Just hurry past!
Why won’t he just leave me alone? Can’t he see I’m not interested?
Why are you acting so weird Meenu? Who are you hiding from?
Let’s hurry home brother.
Hey Meenu, where are you going so fast?
What’s the hurry Meenu?
None of your business Samir.
I wasn’t talking to you.
Come on, we have to meet my brother so he can walk us home.
12
Meenu come with me! I want to talk to you… alone.
Leave us alone Samir! Meenu doesn’t want to talk to you!
HAI BHAGWAN (oh God), you were so bold! I can’t believe you pushed him… and then he slapped you! I was so scared.
Yeah, I don’t know. I kind of just reacted. I hate being pushed around all the time by boys. It’s not our fault they’re jerks!
13
I still couldn’t stand up to him like that. I’m going to be extra careful to keep away from him. It’s almost graduation. I just have to hide for a little while longer…
Hmm, tell me Meenu. What now? Uh, um.
Now that you’ve graduated Meenu, what are you going to do with yourself?
Right now I’m going to get the door!
Hey, I haven’t seen you since graduation. Come and hang out with me.
Where are you going? I don’t want to be too far from home. Ok… I guess. For a little bit.
Not far—just over by my cousin’s house. My brother and cousin are there. It’s safe. You never come out and talk anymore. Come on, CHALO (let’s go)!
At least this gets me out of a conversation with my mother about my future plans!
14
My mom was yelling at me about the water tap being dry. What am I supposed to do about that? I’m not the government.
YAAR (dude), one tap for the whole alley and not a drop!
How are we supposed to get ahead? Every sweaty, little rupee we earn has to go for some house repair or my mom’s medicine. I can’t get ahead, YAAR .
And we have the landlord raising our rent whenever he wants saying we can just get out if we don’t pay.
Hey, brother! It’s that boy Samir who used to harass Meenu in school. What are we going to do?
Life is tough for young broke blokes in Delhi.
At least you’re allowed outside. You can leave the slum whenever you want!
Hey, can you tell Meenu to come here?
He’s not coming in here. This is our slum!
YAAR , no way. Get lost!
See, you don’t have to worry about that Samir anymore. You can stop being afraid and come out more and chat with us. Thanks, but I gotta go home now. Stay Meenu!
I’ll see you later. My mom needs me. Bye…
If we ever see you around here again we will beat you. Forget about Meenu or you’ll be sorry!
15
Even though I was protected by the boys in my slum, the thought of going outside where other boys roam Was terrifying. I felt safer in my own world where I could entertain my dreams...
Maybe I’ll marry a famous cricket player. Whenever I see Suresh Raina on TV, I can just imagine myself with him. It would be love at first sight!
Maybe I’ll be a model. I love, love, love fashion.
Or a reporter! Whenever I see accidents or things happening on the street, I imagine that I have a microphone and I am the one doing interviews on TV.
16
But then I’d come back to reality and think, “How would any of it be possible?” My family didn’t have money. I was shy and timid. I felt I was crazy to think I could achieve any of my dreams. I couldn’t even leave the house to look for a job. I felt hopeless, useless. I thought I should get married like my grandfather wanted and just accept my lot in life…
...Washing Clothes
...Preparing food
...Taking care of children
…until I die.
17
I don’t want to go out. Can’t you get him?
Meenu, go get your brother. He needs to finish his homework.
HAI BHAGWAN (oh God) Meenu! He’s just down the alley. It’s not far. now go!
Hey girls, my name is Asha and I work at the FEMINIST APPROACH TO TECHNOLOGY (FAT) . We offer a free six-month training in computers just for girls.
I really don’t like walking around alone, even in my slum. You never know what dangers are lurking around the corner.
Since childhood we girls are told that computers are not for us so we don’t even try. At FAT we know learning technology can help girls attain equity in school and the workforce.
18
What would we do at FAT ?
We have trainings in basic computer use and navigating the Internet. We also have workshops on self-esteem, caste and class, reproductive health and cultural issues. Best of all, on Saturdays we stage dramas, watch inspiring films and host guest speakers.
There’s no way my father will allow me to study computers. He’ll say I need to learn something useful for girls, like teaching children or cooking.
Wow, that sounds so great.
We can come talk to your parents and explain that FAT doesn’t just teach computer skills, it provides girls with the tools for self-improvement. Also, make sure to tell your father it is FREE . Fathers like that part!
I’ve never used a computer before, but I know digital is the way of the future.
You and your parents are welcome to come to the technology center to meet the director and see the computers. We are a grassroots organization working for the girls in this community, so take advantage of this opportunity!
OOPS! Where is your brother Meenu?
19
I’m scared to go there alone. It is outside of our slum.
Do you think I can go to FAT and learn how to use a computer?
Study and professional work was not an option for me. I want you girls to have better lives—to embrace opportunities to study and get good jobs. This will be great for you, Meenu.
It’s time to be brave, Meenu. Why not get some girls in the community to go with you? I bet Raveena would go. she is always looking for an opportunity to leave the slum.
Yeah Meenu! This is great. We’ll finally have a girls’ adventure.
So will you come with me?
20
Welcome Meenu and Raveena! I want to introduce you to Gayatri, the director of FAT .
Welcome girls! Let’s take a tour of the technology center and then I can answer any questions you have.
So learning how to use a computer here at FAT helps empower us and then we can become selfreliant? Girls can be just as skilled as boys and have their own careers?
ABSOLUTELY!
When I worked in the IT sector there were so few women. In fact, only 22 percent of IT industry workers in India are women. And very few of the women I worked with ever reached decision-making positions. FAT is here to turn the tide!
21
Ok, girls, quiet down. It’s time to talk about your girls’ rights projects. Everyone did a great job researching on the Internet, but I want to hear about the reactions you got when you discussed these topics with your families.
My father said I don’t have any right to ask about dowry being good or bad for girls. I told him I think it’s wrong, but then I ran to hide!
My mother told me not to even ask my father or uncles about a girl’s right to education. She said they will just get mad and shout at me, but I asked them anyway!
I like your confidence! Now for this week I want you to talk to people in your community outside the home. Try interviewing your neighbor or some shopkeepers. And go in groups—safety in numbers, girls!
On Saturdays we did a lot of cool activities, like going to film festivals! Going out with all the girls at FAT made me feel safe and a little more confident.
Sir, why do you think it is acceptable to marry a girl before she is 18 years old?
Wow! This is so great. I didn’t even know festivals for women existed!
We want you to know there are amazing women in India succeeding and changing our world. It’s time to get inspired!
Sometimes our parents and people in the community tell us, “Shut up, don’t talk about these things.” But we are learning to answer, “Why should we shut up?” We know we have rights and we want answers!
22
I want you all to think about a topic that negatively impacts girls in India and then we’re going to create a drama about it to perform in public. But I don’t want to marry him. I want to finish school! People will watch us thinking it’s just entertainment, but then we will hit them with our message of equality for girls!
I know dear, shh shh. But we do as father says.
We went to each of our slums and put on plays about problems girls face, like child marriage, early pregnancy, eve-teasing (street harassment) and lack of access to education—and explored how we can all work together to build a safer community.
23
I think these dramas are really helping you find your voice and be more confident. Just one month ago you wouldn’t have spoken in front of so many people. I’m proud of you, daughter!
Meenu, how was the drama today? Did you enjoy yourself?
AREY KYA (oh my gosh)! I was so nervous, but in the end everyone clapped and we felt so good.
With all the support I got from FAT and from my mother, every day I gained a little bit more confidence. I changed from that timid girl who was too scared to go into the streets. Little by little, I became bold.
Look, I didn’t forget about Pari and the horrible thing Abhay did to her. But now I know I can’t be afraid every moment of my life: being so afraid was wasting my life.
24
The problems girls face in India are still there, but at FAT we are gaining the awareness and tools we need to deal with these issues. Instead of meeting harassment head on, a way that isn’t practical in India, we use other creative methods. Some carry a safety pin to give a prick to men who stand too close on the bus. Other girls have chili powder to throw in an attacker’s eyes. We’ve learned to be crafty and to watch each other’s backs.
There are a lot of girls in our slum who just stay at home and don’t have plans for their future. We want to change that!
FAT even gave us classes in self-defense. Once I learned how to protect myself, I wasn’t so fearful of boys anymore.
There are always boys on the street doing eve-teasing! I’m so glad I convinced my mom to get me a mobile phone. Now with my Bollywood music I can tune out the outside world and go anywhere.
Yes! That’s why we started this group just for the girls. We will support each other and tell the community how to be safer for girls.
Raveena and I wanted to help other girls the way FAT had helped us, so we started a group called “New Thinking New Way” just for the girls in our slum!
25
Ok class, today we are going to explore Facebook and how to make your own profile.
Meenu, I am so impressed with your progress! In just six months you have gone from a girl who was too afraid to leave her house to a leader for other girls. This is a remarkable transformation!
Now that your FAT training is over, I want you to consider becoming a volunteer here at the tech center to teach other girls. Oh cool, even FAT has a Facebook page!
Of course! I’d do anything for FAT !
Meenu, I love coming here, but the whole neighborhood gossips about where I go when I leave the house to come to the FAT center.
Pfff! Try to ignore it. You are already showing what a strong girl you are by having the courage to come here and learn.
I also have so, so much pressure from my father and brothers. They say I should do a training that will be useful to me, like a sewing class. And that’s exactly what is going to happen! We have to just stick together and know that FAT is here to support us.
Males are just worried that if girls are educated, we will become self-assured and vocal and then it will be difficult to control us and marry us off.
26
I still have my wild dreams that I will be a reporter, a model or even a cricketer’s wife, but FAT pulled me back to reality. Now I know it’s ok to dream, but I also must focus on the dreams that can be achieved.
I am so proud that you are taking this chance. The old Meenu wouldn’t have even considered it. Be careful on your way there though, and don’t talk to any strange boys!
Are you nervous about your job interview tomorrow Meenu?
Yes mom! Of course. But I think I’m ready. I practiced answering interview questions with the girls at FAT.
Good luck Meenu! We know you’ll be great.
I’m so excited to get ready for this interview!
My mom will always try to protect me, but I can’t live my life in fear. When I’m going around Delhi, I just have to be smart and use my intuition.
27
I am confident.
I am worth this job! I am capable.
Ok Meenu, she’s ready for you now.
Yes, ma’am, I do! I completed a six-month training program at a non-profit organization called the FEMINIST APPROACH TO TECHNOLOGY . They taught us how to use a computer, navigate the Internet, do some word processing and more.
Well, everything seems fine so far, but to be a telemarketing executive you must know how to work on a computer. Do you know how to use a computer?
Very impressive. Tell me more about this program.
I knew you’d get it! We’re so proud of you!
Mother, you’re looking at the new telemarketing executive. I got the job!
28
One year after I graduated, I joined the workforce. I loved the feeling of independence I got every day from going to work. I put all the knowledge I gained at FAT to work for me at my new job and I quickly became confident entering data, talking to customers and I even made new friends with my co-workers. Even though I was busy with my new job, I didn’t forget about FAT and returned to the center whenever possible.
Thanks so much for counseling me on how to get a job, Meenu. And thanks for helping convince my parents that it’s something girls can do.
You’re really an inspiration to us Meenu! I have a job interview tomorrow and would never have been brave enough if you hadn’t shown us it could be done.
That’s amazing! When us girls support each other there’s no end to what we can accomplish.
No problem! I know what it’s like to feel trapped in your home. I just want you girls to feel as free as I do now.
29
I can’t wait to see the look on grandfather’s face when I tell him that my daughter is supporting her family!
After a few months at my job, my sister announced she was engaged. I decided to help my mother with the cost of the wedding.
I’m going to be married!
While it’s unusual for a girl my age to take on this responsibility, I’m proud I can contribute financially to my family. My mother must pay my sister’s dowry and pay for the wedding. It’s a lot of money!
Awesome! You’re really like a son now, paying for the family expenses. Here brother, look at this!
I hope when I get married though my mother will support me in refusing to pay a dowry. It’s time that we girls stand up to this outdated practice.
No brother, she’s like a daughter. We’re just as capable and now Meenu’s proven it!
And this SARI , it’s so perfect!
Mother, look at this great shirt Meenu got me!
Look at you Meenu. You are confident and doing things on your own. I have so many dreams for you. The world is progressing and moving forward, and you are too!
30
Thank you Meenu! My husband’s family is so impressed that my sister contributed to my wedding! You made this day great for me and easier for mother.
You just have to promise me that you too will follow your dreams and believe that you are equal to your husband.
Meenu, now that you’ve worked so hard to make your sister happy, it is your turn. What is your dream?
Yes, Meenu, you’ve shown me it’s possible!
You know me mother, I still have a million wild dreams, but one thing that I think is possible and I really want is to work toward opening an organization like FAT to help other girls.
Even though I am confident now, I know there are girls all over Delhi—all over India, even—who are hiding and scared like I was. If us girls don’t help each other, then who will?
31
I learned I am not less than anyone. I don’t need to feel frightened or hide in corners from boys. Inside of me I had the courage to stand up for myself and the other girls of Delhi. Our voices together will demand change and until Delhi becomes safer for us girls, we’ll have each other for strength and protection. FAT and the power of technology helped me see that everything is within my reach. It’s just up to me to go out and get it!
32
READ, DISCUSS, ACT This is Meenu’s story, but there are other girls from many different countries also facing these challenges and seeking solutions. Grab some friends, talk to your classmates or get your after-school clubs interested to discuss the issues below, learn more and get involved. After reading Meenu’s story we hope you’re feeling inspired and fired up to take action for girls everywhere!
WHY WE LOVE GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS
WHY WE LOVE GIRL POWER
WHY WE LOVE TECHNOLOGY FOR GIRLS
CONSIDER: Marginalized by cultural practices, poverty and discrimination, girls are often outside the reach of larger development projects led by governments and international aid agencies. Grassroots organizations are smaller and created by members of the community to address specific problems. Familiar with the local language, culture and challenges that shape girls’ lives, grassroots organizations are uniquely equipped to address girls’ urgent needs and create effective solutions. They also stay put, offering girls support for the long run.
CONSIDER: Bands in the 1990s like Bikini Kill and the Spice Girls made the phrase “girl power” popular, but we’re not talking about pop culture. Girl power means that all girls everywhere are empowered to take control of their lives. We know that if a girl stays in school, has access to health services and is given an opportunity to earn a good wage, she will marry later, have fewer and healthier children and earn an income that she’ll invest back into her family and community. That’s amazing! But girls are still facing exploitation and injustice. Girls in poverty, navigating the tricky years of adolescence, face additional challenges like child marriage, early pregnancy and violence.
CONSIDER: Technology and social change are closely interlinked. Every society goes through a social change with the introduction of a new technology. For girls and women to participate fully in this change, they should not be intimidated by technology. For girls, technology creates opportunities to be safer, healthier and better educated—equipping them to contribute to the development of their countries.
ASK: How does the Feminist Approach to Technology (FAT) address the problems of India’s adolescent girls? DISCUSS: If an organization from outside of India tried to open technology centers for India’s adolescent girls, how would it be different? What might work and what wouldn’t work?
ASK: How did Meenu use girl power to transform her life and help her friends? DISCUSS: What problem in your community can you confront with girl power to create a positive solution?
Meenu envisions a world where the use and creation of technology is gender neutral. This is a world where all girls and women have equal opportunities to learn, use and create technology, irrespective of their academic background, economic status or geographical location. ASK: Why is it important for Meenu and the other girls in New Delhi to learn technology skills? Beyond helping girls find better jobs, how did FAT help Meenu and her friends? DISCUSS: How do you use technology to empower yourself? Do all girls in your community have equal knowledge and access to technology?

BIRYANI: A rice-based dish made with spices, rice and chicken, mutton, fish, eggs or vegetables.
ACID VIOLENCE: Where acid is intentionally thrown to maim, disfigure or blind. Acid attacks occur in many countries across the world, and is most common in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India where deep-rooted patriarchy persists. There is no official statistic for India, but he BBC estimates there are as many as 1,000 acid attacks per year. Most of the victims are women who rejected boyfriends, husbands or employers. Under the Indian Penal Code acid violence is illegal, but the law falls short in addressing intention to cause grievous hurt, no clear compensation for the victim or sentencing of the perpetrator.

Even though dowry is technically against the law, girls’ families are still expected to give the husband and his family money and gifts at the time of marriage. In India, many people still think it is shameful for a girl not to marry, so families try to meet the dowry demands. Husbands-to-be are demanding more and more dowry, which may lead to verbal abuse and physical violence if the bride’s family cannot meet the demands.
