"Hello everyone! Today, we're excited to discuss an important topic: understanding SDG5 and India's commitment towards SDG 5. Before we begin.
We want to take this opportunity to remind you that if you are experiencing any form of stress or violence, please remember that each person's journey through stress or trauma is unique, and it's essential to recognize your individuality. Experiencing abuse is never acceptable, and the effects you may feel are valid. Remember, healing is a personal journey, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. You have the power to define your path to recovery. If you're seeking additional resources or support, don't hesitate to reach out Imaara Foundation.
Let's dive into this discussion together!"
