This event “WE THE WOMEN” will bring together feministic voices from a range of professions, spanning from cinema, politics and sports to literature and law, all under one roof. The issues that will be discussed at the forum are diverse to say the least—the fight of women against the religious orthodoxy, whether in ending the triple talaq ritual or demanding the right to enter Sabarimala; the battle by Bohri women to end female genital mutilation.
