THINK LABOR

To keep up with everything skilling & employment

Hi Reader,

 

The theme for International Working Women's Day 2022 is 'gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow'. As women take new leaps in all walks of life to 'break the bias', this issue celebrates the spirit of womanhood by focusing on their progress and equality. We have included reports and a short film reflecting the status of women at work. We hope that this will spark a conversation and help create equitable futures that are free of gender bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

Breaking the Barrier

Watch this short film ‘Breaking the Barrier’ made by Pratham. The film shines a spotlight on the spirit of this young girl, Chutki, who is determined to fulfil her dreams against all odds. Let's inspire the Chutkis within and around all of us.
