Feedback:

"The 'I am Abhaya' competition made me realize that I have a voice—and I can express it through art. When I started working on my poster, I kept thinking about all the times I felt scared to speak up or take a stand. This competition gave me the courage to turn those feelings into something powerful and beautiful. While drawing, I felt proud of who I am and who I want to become. It wasn’t about winning; it was about expressing strength. Seeing my friends’ posters also inspired me—every girl had her own story of bravery to tell. I’ll never forget that feeling of unity and empowerment."

I never thought a poster competition could teach me so much about myself. When I heard the theme 'I am Abhaya', I felt curious—and excited. As I made my poster, I kept thinking about girls who are strong, who never give up. I wanted to be like them. For the first time, I felt that I could be fearless too. The appreciation we received and the chance to share our thoughts through art made me feel seen and heard. I’m very thankful for this opportunity—it made me believe that my ideas and feelings matter."
