Patriarchal societies like ours perpetuate misogyny and gender privileges exist in every strata of our society. From a young age, boys are raised with a sense of entitlement, which starts to manifest itself early — in the form of right to education, play, religious and cultural rituals — and continues into adulthood.

In an effort to shed light on this subject, Bellevue Salons, a conversation platform, is organising a discussion titled Raising Feminist Sons at an art gallery in Bandra. The event is being held in partnership with Tara Kaushal, the author of multimedia gender journalism and activism project Why Indian Men Rape.
