Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Sexism is an everyday thing for most women. Yet, they live, love, and laugh, despite everything that they face just because of their gender.
My bare legs provoke you
Because of my gender.
My being in the world after sunset disturbs you
My going out with friends raises your eyebrows
My uninhibited presence challenges you
My freedom disturbs you
My existence at par with you perturbs you
My power threatens you
Still,
I live, I laugh, I fight, I win, I create, I love, I evolve, I embrace
While you,
continue to compete with me
Because of my gender
And somewhere, you stopped evolving
Because of your gender.

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.
