    • Girl up amoyan

      May 2020 - now
      Founder

      Girl Up, a campaign of the United Nations Foundation, gives girls the opportunity to channel their energy and compassion to raise awareness and funds for programs of the United Nations that help some of the world's hardest-to-reach adolescent girls.Girl Up Amoyan, a club under the Girl Up initiative was founded by Sulakshana Saikia along with Arnab Biswas to eliminate gender inequalities among the Female Sportspersons, E-Sports Gamers, Streamers and Comedians.We all know that somewhere or another, females are discouraged or demotivated wherever possible in this world.There are many girls who have immense talent but are unable to showcase it because of the biasness they have to face in this society.The female sportspersons, who show the same amount of motivation and hardwork are not getting enough audience and encouragement just because of their gender.The female ESports Gamers and Streamers who show the same amount of dedication are barely known just because of their gender.And lastly, the female comedians,who have the best sense of humour are always getting demotivated with the worst sexist jokes possible.So Girl Up Amoyan will be working on all these issues so that we can eliminate these gender discrimination as much as we can.Along with these we also work on all the other issues faced by women in this modern world.So we all are looking forward to a great journey and hope that we get successful with our motive!
