On the occasion of Women`s History Month, Debjyoti Mukherjee, a 48-year-old entrepreneur is set to embark on the Goechala trek in Sikkim. In a bid to raise awareness about sexual health rights for adolescent girls in Odisha, he will trek on the steep terrain to support Bal Raksha Bharat’s [Save the Children] project on girls and women empowerment in Odisha.
Culminating at an altitude of 16,000+ feet, the Goechala trek is one of the most difficult treks to set one`s foot on. As he treks along the steep slope, he aims to empower women who bear the brunt of a lack of resources, education and equality in Indian society.
