We are looking for your most interesting photos of women outside the home – in a park, bus, street, or any other place outdoors.
These could be your friends eating golgappas, women selling stuff on the street, travellers at a railway station, runners on the road, commuters on the metro, hikers on a trail, or any other women outdoors. All we ask is that it feature women, and in an outdoor setting.

My house-help asked excitedly, “I am going for wedding. Can you let me wear your red & black saree? To be honest I was stumped for a moment; I didn’t know what to say but I still said yes.
I lent a gorgeous saree to my house-help for a wedding in her family. Soon I stated getting questions if I would wear that saree again or if I was okay to be seen wearing the same saree my house-help was wearing?
We are all so conditioned to give our used clothes to our house-helps but are we okay to wear the clothes they were wearing?
A few days ago she came excitedly to me, “I am going for a family wedding. I want to wear your red & black saree, Ill wash and give it to you after the function. Please can you let me wear it?”
Beauty is a very clever, very evil capitalist tool. It traps those who have it into hanging on to it for dear life and those who don't into mutilating, torturing themselves to achieve the unachievable.
I recently wrote a piece about MP Shashi Tharoor’s tweet in which he had shared a pic with six women parliamentarians tagging them and saying “Who says the Lok Sabha isn’t an attractive place to work?”
There was a rash of comments on the post shared on Instagram, which ranged from “chill, it’s just a compliment” and “stop overthinking compliments”, to (worried) men lamenting about “these feminazi”.
Here’s my answer to all those comments.
This Beyond The Doors contest conducted by Women's Web is all about capturing the life of women in India outside the home.
This Beyond The Doors contest conducted by Women’s Web is all about capturing the life of women in India outside the home.
Women are out at work on the streets, going to work, often working on the street as hawkers, hanging out with friends, going to the park, just….being…ourselves. Women will not be confined! Whether for work or fun, we will own the streets. This popular contest first happened two years ago, and you can see some of the best entries here.
This year’s contest saw close to 200 entries across varied themes. The photographs captured women breaking stereotypes, going beyond their comfort zone to care for their families, excelling in their jobs and also finding happiness in adventures, friends and just being themselves.
The lives of women outside the home are rich and interesting too. This collection of photos is from our Beyond The Doors photo contest.
Earlier this year, we ran our very first photography contest for readers, Beyond The Doors. The objective was simple: To show women going about their lives beyond the four walls of the home, working, walking, travelling or just ‘being’ outdoors.
Too often, the ‘home’ is considered the only safe space, and everything else is seen as ‘dangerous’ territory; hence the often well-meaning advice to women to not go to unsafe areas, not wear certain clothes, not step out beyond a certain time.
