Women have been made to live a submissive life for centuries now. It's time to celebrate their capabilities, desires, identity, and freedom.
Women have been made to live a submissive life for centuries now. It’s time to celebrate their capabilities, desires, identity, and freedom.
The deep-rooted cultural tales
The societal norms subduing females
It’s time We celebrate her desires
We are afflicted with the age-old inequality
Controlling her body and veiling her ability
It’s time We celebrate her potential
There is no power to domesticate her mind
Incessantly it revokes and is no longer kind
It’s time We celebrate her empowerment
The mythology of different cultures,
Turns down a women’s desire as evil and vultures,
It’s time We celebrate her equality
Let the subjective truth of culture disperse
Ride on the power of the objective truth of the universe
It’s time we celebrate her real identity
Don’t quantify her chaste based on the patriarchal belief
Let her live her way without judging her fantasy or grief
It’s time We celebrate her freedom

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.
