Under the #SayNo2Dowry challenge on the app, Josh aims to raise 1000 unique voices and has hence, urged its users, creators and influencers to leverage the power of short-format content and raise their voice against the barbarity of this social evil that has objectified women and ruined families over decades.

Commending the initiative by Kerala Police, Sunder Venketraman, Head of Creator and Content Ecosystem, Josh, said,“We are humbled to partner with Kerala Police and extend our support in their efforts to abolish the evil practice of dowry that looms largely in the state. At Josh, we have always tried to create a positive impact on the society by partnering for good and taking a stand for sensitive issues like this. Through the #SayNo2Dowry challenge, we aim to inform the masses about the evil associated with dowry and look forward to collectively resolve the issue.”
“Kerala Police has initiated the campaign #SayNo2Dowry as a measure to curb the system of giving dowry in connection with marriage. This is one of the social evils that still exists in Kerala, and we feel that this is the right time to wipe out this menace from our society. Keeping this target in mind, Kerala Police has decided to rely upon social media to a large extent.”, saidManoj Abraham, Additional Director General of Police, Thiruvananthapuram Range. “The Kerala Police is happy to associate with Josh, one of the pioneer mobile applications for promoting this campaign. As we are aware, this mobile app has already become a trendsetter among the youth,and any awareness on such a prominent application can winthe hearts of the netizens and further amplify the campaign to a larger audience. As the campaign especially targets the youth, Josh is the right platform for showcasing the message in the form of short videos. Any such awareness on this app will become an icebreaker among the youth. We, at Kerala Police are sure that we can go ahead in our campaign by associating with the Josh app.”, he further added.
