Raina Raonta

For creating awareness and encouraging breaking gender stereotypes in relationships

- Karishma Kuenzang

As a woman who grew up in Punjab and then moved to Mumbai, Raina Raonta, 28, says she saw a lot of gender stereotypes, especially when it came to relationships.

Today, she is utilising her time as the head of social strategy at Yuvaa (@weareyuvaa) to make Reels and other content that breaks gender stereotypes, with a series called ##UnStreeOType since March 2022.

A recent Reel she featured in, as a part of the series, addresses breaking stereotypes in relationships from both partners' points of view, questioning issues like a woman being slut-shamed for having sexual history, but not a man; and a man being expected to pay when you eat out etc.
