Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
From the age of just 5 years old, boys are taught that they need not do any house work. Why and what is the need for this?
A morning after a holiday too seems like a holiday. But schools are working, and we women of the house have to work, of course. We’re working women who work for no pay.
So today morning when my aunt was getting her son, my little cousin, ready for his school, she told him that his breakfast will be served in 5 minutes. To which he replied that when he will get big, he will cook his breakfast on his own, so that he will not get late.
When he said this, his grand mother asked him, “Why you will make your own food? No need to do that. Your sister will make it for you and you better study, work hard and earn for the family. She will cook and you earn – Tu paise kamana, teri behan ghar sambhalegi!”
From the age of just 5 years old, boys are taught such things that condition their minds. Why and what is the need for this? Such mentality will only ruin his future.
This child is from a generation more aware of equality and partnership, where women will do same things which he will do to be independent and earn, and so he has to take care of household also.
Teachings and values are required to be changed or upgraded…!

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.
