Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
And now as we sit on this change, helplessly seeing lives go by,The other side of it could be a different world...
Time should have been of importance prime,
Time with family, time for ourselves,
But it wasn’t.
Gave it all up, we did. For all that money could buy.
Kindness, towards anyone and everyone, should have been our ultimate goal,
We gave it up for religion, for power, and for all the differences we could possibly create.
Mother Earth should have been our foremost love,
We messed her up, for our greed, for our pleasure.
Care we didn’t for anything else, but us.
Then came along, a change.
A change which took lives, human lives, each passing day.
And that is the cost we pay.
To finally spend time, with those that matter the most.
To realize that if there is God, he resides in those life-saving hands,
Not behind religious edifices with doors closed,
Those which have brewed hatred, for centuries and more.
To finally give up, even if by force, the pollution, the killing.
The ships which created havoc on life under our waters.
The planes, the factories which have been suffocating all on Mother Earth, including us.
And now as we sit on this change, helplessly seeing lives go by,
The other side of it could be a different world…

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.
