Indian women have always been hesitant about talking about their sexual desires. Time for change. Let’s talk sexual desires say#WomenOnTheMove
Sexual desires being a male domain is passé. Women today are increasingly taking charge of their sexual desires; and Indian women are no different.
The growth of technology and the rise of the internet is the biggest if not the only contributor in shaping the thought process of modern Indian women. It has helped women to connect with others and has motivated them to explore uncharted territories. It has opened up a whole new world of learning and enlightenment for them. Young women in the city no longer perceive sex as something that can be done only after wedlock. Indian women today are cognisant of their needs and refuse to feel guilty about wanting good sex.
In mid-December 2016, in our weekly #Womenonthemove chat over at Twitter, we discussed why women should take charge of their sexual desires. This is what #WomenOnTheMove said. (If you’re not yet following Women’s Web on Twitter, do now, and you can come over for the chat too, every Wednesday 6-7 pm IST).

Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
Picture this: A seasoned executive at the peak of her career suddenly grapples with hot flashes and sleep disturbances during important meetings. She also battles mood swings and cognitive changes, affecting her productivity and confidence. Eventually, she resigns from her job.
Fiction? Not really. The scenario above is a reality many women face as they navigate menopause while meeting their work responsibilities.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
