Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
On November’s 25th, a day so bold, Dedicated to tales that must be told. To end violence against women, we stand, In a world where justice must take command.
The White Ribbon Campaign, a noble quest, Born from sorrow, a tragic bequest. Lepine’s darkness, a chilling decree, Led to the birth of a ribbon so free.
In Canada’s land, where shadows cast, Random women fell, a memory vast. Now, on this day, the White Ribbon we wear, A symbol of hope, a plea in the air.
I ponder, though, on this ribbon so white, How many turn red in the silent night? Stained by the blood of women, so brave, Young and old, and the innocent they save.
Children, too, caught in the cruel tide, Their stories unheard, their tears denied. On this day of White Ribbon, let’s vow, To break the silence, to change the now.
For every stained ribbon tells a tale, Of resilience, strength, and a will to prevail. Let’s stand together, a united force, To end the violence, chart a new course.

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.
