Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Gauri Lankesh, noted journalist, was shot dead recently in Bengaluru. However, this ode is to her spirit, which lives on in many others.
India, an icon of pluralism
Celebrating the difference
That difference which defined us
Made us unique and beautiful
Why would you pollute that culture?
What an act of bravery
To shoot a woman alone at home!
What an act of utter foolishness
To mute a firebrand woman…
Know that…
The energy stays sanatan
So will her voice, the sanatan voice
The voice can’t die
Despite the vehemence
A woman with a free voice
Isn’t a decorative piece
She is a seed of fire
The eternal fire of truth
You may shoot her
You may mute her
You may defame her
You may try to tame her
But the more you try,
The more she will grow
The more you cage her
The more she will be out and loud
Know that
India is a free democracy
And….
Kali is just another form of Gauri
Residing in every woman
Every ‘Naari’

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.
