Protests need not be loud and slogan-based. Acts performed in solidarity can be a protest, as demonstrated by city-based non-governmental organisation, Dhai Akshar Educational Trust, which provides educational opportunities for underprivileged children. On January 28, the foundation collaborated with crochet club, Udhed Bunn Baatein for Stitches Against Violence, a worldwide movement originating in Vienna to symbolically protest against gender-based violence.
