Many of Pehchaan Radio Club members were young women
from urban villages in Delhi . They came from conservative families and
neighborhoods in which women were not given the opportunity to freely express
their opinions or views. While the radio
program has given them an opportunity to voice their opinions, the invitation
from the Ministry of SJ&E to participate in street theater gave these
young women a new experience that took them out from the confines of homes into
the center stage. It was an experience
that has kindled in them a new sense of confidence.
