Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Woman, in silence there is a lot to lose- denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse. And on the other side you've shattered myths, scaled new heights
Woman, in silence there is a lot to lose- denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse. And on the other side you’ve shattered myths, scaled new heights
Woman… still two different sides of a coin One silent, she dare not dream. The other scaling heights, forging the stream
When a woman is silent, not daring to dream Things are not as simple as they seem! As if a bearer of doom, when a girl is born, She cowers in fear of that undeserving scorn Every time she faces her husband’s wrath, She forgives… as that what she’s been taught!
Oh woman, in silence there is a lot to lose Your daughters too will never dare to choose You know it well, but you’re not even trying life is passing by… your spirit is dying There is always a choice but you let it go, never raising a voice, in times of violence, rape, abuse… Suppressing the power within you to use
Oh woman, in silence there is a lot to lose Denial, fear, traditions, society are no excuse
Oh woman, on the other side of the coin You’ve shattered myths, scaled new heights Fulfilled dreams, fought for what’s right Letting go of guilt to reach your goal You and only you, the master of your soul You’ve broken shackles of tradition, and society You are today your own first priority Breaking free to follow that voice That’s calling you to make your choice
Now that your choice is made Reach out to those, standing in the shade Scared, silent and still cowering in fright Lend a hand and show them the light
For every woman who suffers trauma and violence, Another gets crushed, and learns to suffer in silence.
A woman, two different sides of a coin One is frightened and silent The other vibrant and defiant A woman, till today two different sides of a coin.

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.
