In a world that often tells women who they should be, countless women rise above expectations with unwavering courage and resilience. Their stories aren’t just personal triumphs—they’re powerful testaments to the strength of the human spirit. This International Women’s Day, Jaano Junction invites you to share these transformative narratives with our new campaign: Not Your Lollypop 🍭 – Stories of Women Championing in Life.
Imagine the woman who, despite facing discrimination or harassment, stood tall and redefined her destiny. Think of that moment when a female colleague bravely confronted injustice at work or when a friend transformed hardship into a stepping stone toward success. These aren’t just stories—they’re sparks that ignite change, proving that strength is born in the midst of struggle.
By opening up about the challenges and victories that have shaped you or someone you know, you provide a lifeline of hope to those who might be silently fighting their own battles.

💡 The word 'Lollypop' is a reference to the Bhojpuri "Lollypop Lagelu" song, which has "cultural" significance, especially in Bihar and North India. The song, often associated with a certain gaze on women, has been widely used in pop culture. By saying "Not Your Lollypop 🍭," you’re flipping the narrative—challenging objectification and reinforcing that women are not here for anyone’s entertainment but are champions in their own right.
It’s a bold statement, and has a rebellious edge.
