Description

The Rotaract Club of NMIMS Bengaluru recently organized a Nukkad Natak on Church Street, shedding light on the critical issue of women’s safety. Through powerful street performances and real-life storytelling, the team portrayed the daily struggles and vulnerabilities women face in public spaces. The act highlighted both obvious and subtle threats that often go unnoticed yet leave a lasting impact on women’s sense of security. Performing at a bustling public location like Church Street allowed the message to reach a wide and diverse audience, encouraging immediate reflection and dialogue. Despite facing challenges such as unexpected rain and intervention from local police, the team remained undeterred. Their resilience ensured the show went on, turning obstacles into opportunities to emphasize the urgency of the cause. Over 200 people paused to watch, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations. Many shared personal experiences and offered their thoughts on building safer, more inclusive environments for women. The initiative went beyond awareness—it was a strong call to action, urging individuals to take responsibility and foster change through empathy and everyday behavior. By choosing street theatre as a medium, the Rotaract Club sparked vital conversations that are often brushed aside. The event left a lasting impression on both the audience and the performers, reinforcing the idea that youth-led initiatives can play a powerful role in driving social impact from the ground up.
