These gender inequality comic strips will hit very closer to home. Especially in a country like India, where the gender gap is so huge.
Gender inequality is subtle and obvious. It exists in countries across the world in different ways. Sometimes we recognize it, for example when boys are preferred over girls. At other times, it can be harder to identify as gender inequality, like when men don’t get paternity leave to bond with their children. Identifying the ways in which it occurs is a crucial step to dismantling the hold it has on our lives.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
