Aur Hum. which welcomed 15 amazing participants who came together to create a safe and trusting space for interaction.

Interactive and enriching sessions with resource people - gender queer writer and activist, Shals Mahajan, who conducted a writing workshop using children's storybook and writer Jacinta Kerketta's selected works to unpack gender, its implicit and explicit hierarchies; and queer feminist activist, researcher and activist Chayanika Shah, who led an insightful session on caste, gender and sexuality.
