There is nothing wrong with boy-boy or girl-girl attraction. City school students are striving to disseminate this message among their younger peers apart from educating and sensitising them about a host of gender issues and inclusiveness. The broader aim powering their efforts is to prevent bullying, name-calling and humiliation of students over gender-diverse body language and mannerisms. To do their bit to raise awareness of LGBTQIA+, Std XI students of Rustomjee Cambridge International School, Dahisar, have been holding workshops with junior students as well as their parents. 

Freyaa Jain, project head of the campaign, said things are not always black and white and that there are so many different perspectives in the world. “Everybody has something different to say and at the end of the day, I believe that the world is a rainbow. It is diverse in every aspect.” Jain and seven of her classmates are part of the initiative. They have designed a website to help fellow students get more information on the subject.
