In this video, a participant from CREA’s SELF Academy shares her experience of attending the institute—travelling outside her hometown, meeting other young women from sanitation-worker families, and finding a supportive space to learn together. She talks about what she explored at the Academy, including gender, rights, bodily autonomy, confidence-building, and practical skills like communication and negotiation. Her reflection highlights how opportunities for growth and exposure are often denied to daughters of sanitation workers, and how spaces like the SELF Academy help open possibilities without making them feel judged or overlooked.
