Rise India

Girl Rising and Yuvaa are so excited to launch Kusum’s Adventurous Innings, a powerful new comic book about a young girl who defies social norms and gender stereotypes to follow her love for the sport of cricket.

Kusum’s journey is more than a sports story. It’s about courage, resilience, and challenging the barriers that hold girls back. This comic is a vibrant new supplement to Girl Rising’s RISE curriculum, which uses storytelling and interactive activities to ignite conversations about gender, identity, and equality in classrooms and communities across India.
