Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
She was beaten, battered, abused. Since childhood. But they had not accounted for her ability to rise above that.
She was beaten, She was bruised, She was tormented, She was abused.
The little girl was fondled, When she knew not very much, The faithful wife was raped, When she refused her husband’s touch.
Her voice has been choked, For decades and more, She has bled from her heart, Her eyes have gone sore.
But her scars will no longer be silent, They will speak of her pain, She is afraid no more, She stands against the violent male!
No, you can’t get away, You will pay the price, Her body is her sacred temple, Her wounds are now wise.
She walks in her power, She walks with pride, She walks against injustice, She walks to RISE!

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.
