An Interactive Session with visiting German Journalists
The Media Ambassadors India – Germany, is a program funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation and is run in cooperation with the Center for Media Competence at the University of Tübingen.
As part of their fellowship program, German journalists visiting India had an interactive session with the DHANAK team.
The visitors were keen on understanding the delicate societal structure in India, and inter-religious marriages.
They were inquisitive about the different types of marriages, challenges of the Special Marriage Act, Inter-religious marriages, and the role of religion in marriages. They also shared the challenges of Inter-faith marriages in their country.

Parents work hard to instill the values of equality, freedom and the importance of constitutional rights in their children, but when these children become adults and choose their partner, parents oppose and crush the very values once inculcated by them. This hypocrisy drives many into a #ForcedMarriage.
As part of our campaign, Dhanak wants to make parents aware that Forced Marriage is a violation of fundamental human rights. It is traumatic and ruins lives.
We at Dhanak, want to promote an environment where adult children are able to freely express their choices and parents are willing to have a discussion with them.
