The March Against Bride trafficking is a moderate conceptualization of a traditional Indian social change mechanism. It is based on Raja Ram Mohan Rai’s movement for promotion of women's rights. The March will ensure four pillars of social behavior enhancement:
- Mobilization: The March will disseminate information and sensitization to mobilize the people in general against the social evils and discrimination.
- Engagement: The March will engage local people in activities so they can feel the suffering and learn about the broader impact of discrimination.
- Organization: The March will form local ad-hoc committees to organize and provide a stage for concerned people.
- Initiation: The March will encourage local initiatives and actions at grassroots levels to achieve a common goal.
