From captivating narratives to hilarious comedies and thought-provoking performances, a drama can offer a range of experiences that transcend entertainment. Similarly, audiences were in for a treat in the advocacy event led by the youth in the capital. Around 150 students from different colleges and schools came up with drama and musical productions that highlighted issues of gender-based violence, sexual reproductive health, and mental health.

The participants came up with dramas and musicals crafted from the youth’s perspective.

“Posters can show more than words. Some people understand more through pictures rather than words. Through real-life drama, they can understand more since they can relate and understand what is happening,” said Tshering.

“If we maintain the well-being of our mind, our physical health will also be good. Moreover, we will be able to carry out activities as planned. I could see that those residing and working in cities are suffering with mental health more as they are not able to manage it well,” said Tshering Jurmi, a student at Aurora Academy of Health Sciences in Phuentshogling.

The event also featured films aligned with the themes of gender equity, diversity and inclusion followed by discussions involving filmmakers, activists, and specialists.

“The screening of these thematic films has triggered a lot of discussion among young people. The very aim of having this three-day event was to provide a platform to young people where they can voice out and where they are allowed to raise their concerns in a very creative and innovative manner,” said Tsheten Lhamo, an assistant program officer at RENEW.

“Sexual reproductive health and rights talks about our own body so it allows us to know what is going on in our body not just about sex but to have safe sex, to be healthy in the manner we explore our sexualities, to know what our bodies are going through biologically, to know our hormonal changes,” said Sangay Lotay, queer advocate.

Through innovative approaches like role-playing, discussions, and artistic expression, young participants were able to understand diverse perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and shed light on critical issues.

RENEW in collaboration with SAMUH and Men Against Violence and Abuse or MAVA, an Indian organisation organised the advocacy event.
