When She Smile

Bina Kalindi, a fourteen-year-old girl, has been fighting a battle against child marriage in her village Purulia, West Bengal, for years now. She diligently goes from door to door, spreading awareness and convincing families of the ills of this social evil. She was just twelve when she resisted her father's efforts to get her married to an older man.

 

Five brave girls from Purulia, West Bengal, including Bina Kalindi, were invited and met to the President of India Hon’ble Smt. Pratibha Patil at Rashtrapati Bhavan on December 07, 2011 in recognition to their courageous stand against child marriage.
