The Aditya Birla World Academy (ABWA) has set an example for schools, taking a significant stride to be an LGBTQIA+ affirmative school. The school recently formed an LGBTQIA+ support and awareness group called — The Rainbow Club. The club, which is being run for students by students with guidance from teachers, will work towards fostering an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ students by raising awareness and addressing the stigma faced by the community.

While the school’s stand paves the way to this sensitive topic for other schools in the city; students of ABWA have set an example by endorsing the need for such an initiative. It was the students who felt that it had become more crucial than ever to build a gender-sensitive society, and create an inclusive environment so that coming generations will have a more solid possibility of living up to the ideals of equality.
