Men and Women joint owners of property, men help in household chores . ( Surprised ) read below about this amazing village.

Sonalwadi in Solapur district of Maharashtra where "Women and men are equal partners. In our village, men chip in to do household duties, we have ensured that all married women are co-owners of their home and even the exchange of dowry during marriage is an absolute no-no."

Underway in 100 villages in the state, this community-based initiative of the Centre for Health and Social Justice (CHSJ) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) enlists men to be trained as animators, who can influence a positive attitudinal change among their peers.

Raosaheb Namdeo Aldar of Karandewadi village supports the joint ownership rights of property for women

Raosaheb Namdeo Aldar of Karandewadi village has similar stories to narrate, "Girls have finally found a voice in their own homes. They fearlessly argue if anyone complains about a gift coming from their parents' home. They are secure in the knowledge that they will always have a place to call home," he says, with a smile.

Bodre, Baburao, Gulig and Aldar may have started off as reluctant crusaders, but they are proud of the fact that "we are finally living the equality that our Constitution promises". - Women's Feature Service
