Continuing the observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the third day of Mokchya's "Project Sakhi" campaign was successfully held on Asoj 25 at Azad Secondary School in Baluwa (Ward 12, Panchkhal). Given that Ward 12 is among the areas most heavily affected by the impact of breast and cervical cancer, raising targeted awareness here was critically important. Presented by Shilpee Theatre's Muktarangamanch, the street drama "Drishya Dhamilo" utilized an interactive forum theatre approach. During the performance, actors vividly portrayed real societal challenges and actively engaged the local community to collectively discuss and find practical solutions. The event received an overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response from the public. Additionally, over 40 women received health consultations from Dr. Rubina KC. Operating under the slogan "Healthy Women, Healthy Society," Day 3 played a vital role in encouraging women in this highly affected region regarding early health screenings, regular check-ups, and connecting with local health posts.
