Dariya Ki Kasam

Dariya ki Kasam (Swear by the River) is a 19-minute film, based on our campaign in Rajasthan for the rights of the Girl Child. Dariya ki Kasam traces the life of a young girl Kabbu, who lives in one of the villages in Barmer. She is in eighth class and does not know whether she would ever be allowed to study further. Through this campaign, she acquires the skill of expressing her needs and concerns through comics. She experiences a change in herself. From a shy little girl, she transforms into a confident girl who could address men and women from the stage. This film is about this girl Kabbu and how she could inspire others like her, not only in this region but even elsewhere.
