SOCIAL ISSUE
Every person, irrespective of their social economic background, has an issue they don’t talk about because there is a stigma attached to it, and we provide an empathetic and non-judgemental platform to talk about those issues. By talking about these issues we try to bring people together because most stigmas - bullying, discrimination, abuse - are universal phenomenons. We propose that the first step to solving these global issues is acknowledging them and normalising them by talking about them.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
We intend to talk about stigmas that give us the unique opportunity to unify people and bring them together and simultaneously talk about the most serious issues of the world that currently hold us back from a more equal, kinder and progressive world, and therefore working on SDG 5 and 10
CONCERN
I yearn to live in a kinder world wherein there are equal opportunities accessible to everyone. Through this initiative, I want to work on building this world
