You could have some plans to turn your dreams into reality this year... Tell us all about it. Here's what you need to do.
A new year often comes with dreams refreshed, and new ideas on how we will follow through to turn these dreams into reality.
Whatever it is, we wish you all the best! And tell us your story.
As a woman, you have a right to have your story heard. And think of it as spreading the joy of dreaming a dream and taking steps in the right direction. It’s always wonderful for every one of us to read and get inspired by what other women have done.
While all stories will be published, the best ones will make our special Editor’s Pick list and be featured on social media. PLUS, 3 pieces from among these will be picked by random selection for an Amazon voucher worth Rs 500 each.
You could tell us your story as a personal account, or as a fictionalised version, between 500 to 1500 words. If you have any pics you want us to use in the piece, please email them to us at [email protected] once you have submitted your story. Put #WillNotBeStopped in the email subject line.
Log into your contributor dashboard and upload it with the hashtag #WillNotBeStopped alongside your title. If you aren’t yet a contributor with Women’s Web, it’s easy to register here.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and upload your story. We’re looking forward to it.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
