On the occasion of Women's History Month, Debjyoti Mukherjee, a 48-year-old entrepreneur is set to embark on the Goechala trek in Sikkim. In a bid to raise awareness about sexual health rights for adolescent girls in Odisha, he will trek on the steep terrain to support Bal Raksha Bharat’s [Save the Children] project on girls and women empowerment in Odisha. 

Culminating at an altitude of 16,000+ feet, the Goechala trek is one of the most difficult treks to set one's foot on. As he treks along the steep slope, he aims to empower women who bear the brunt of a lack of resources, education and equality in Indian society.
