ABSTRACT
Sociodrama was originally developed by the founder of psychodrama and sociometry, J. L. Moreno in the USA during and after the Second World War. The sociodrama is an adaptation of a renowned folk tale Shat Bhai Chompa taken from the famous fairytale book Thakurmar Jhuli written by Dakshinaranjan Mitra Majumdar. Using the metaphor of Shat Bhai Chompa also enabled them to relate the drama to their real-life experience. Culturally contextual sociodramatic interventions can have a long-lasting impact in terms of supporting more gender-equitable norms and can be effective in achieving Sustainable Development Goal. Gender-based violence was the foremost issue that had an impact on the sociodrama participants. Almost all the participants talked about their intentions to reflect on these lessons in real life. participants were spontaneously improvising during the sociodrama to show the real picture of slum life and also were brave enough to share their core insights during the sharing session.
