Online course-mandated fieldwork. Responsible for planning, and managing online gender, sex and sexuality sensitization sessions for masses, called "Gender Talks in English". Through this fieldwork, I developed a deep sense of understanding about the multiplicity of gender and sexuality and the role that society plays in aggravating and discriminating against individuals who do not follow cis-heteronormativity or belong to a minority. Apart from gaining insight into how the queer population is affected psychologically and socially, I learnt the importance of continuous and honest activism, social work and psycho-education.
