From Nilukshi..

Nilukshi is studying at AUW (Asian University for Women), Bangladesh. She attended our Kolkata workshop sometime back. She and her colleagues have taken up the cause of Kinnar (Hijra) community for acceptance.. Check out this link:

In India, some people like Mahesh Bhatt, the film maker, have taken up the cause. But by and large, main stream society remains ignorant and indifferent.. I think the solution is sharing of correct, unbiased information about the community and their issues.

What is Self Help?

Since there is no medical cure and available therapy almost always ends in relapse and self-blame, it makes sense to develop problem solving skills on our own: you would surely learn to fix running repairs if you are going on a world tour, instead of carrying your mechanic with you. It is all the more useful since it is practiced in a group. You develop social and communication skills, instead of chasing fluency alone. TISA promotes four core techniques: Bouncing, Prolongation, Pausing and Voluntary stammering. In addition, we share and practice many more skills/ approaches: listening, Body language, team skills, leadership, self-assertion, peer counseling- above all being a member of a vibrant community, through fair give and take.
