Want to a part of the first Women’s Web community-created video? Here’s your chance!
In a month’s time, we’ll have Mother’s Day (May 10th, 2015) coming by! It is a great day to tell our mothers how much they matter to us – but if you are a mom, how about taking the time to think about your own impact as a mom?
That’s what our #MomsForABetterWorld campaign is all about!
Your thoughts on making this world a better place, with your child.
Said or unsaid, seen or felt – children learn their lessons from us in ways we do not realize! For this Mother’s Day – take a short (up to 30 seconds) video of yourself – or have a friend take it while you speak. Share the one thing you would tell, show or teach your child to make this world a better place.
We will select the best snippets to feature in the very first Women’s Web video being created for Mother’s Day.
We will also be featuring some of the participating mums on Women’s Web to talk about an issue dear to their hearts.
Join us and be a part of this beautiful project: Let us be the change we want to see in the world around us!
Deep inside we’ve all wished we could do something to make this a better world, haven’t we? We always talk about leaving a better tomorrow for our children, but it is our children who will create that tomorrow!
Talk about anything that matters to you, and that you would like to see in your child – it could be as small as obeying traffic rules to something as weighty as speaking up against injustice.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
