Anaemia in Indian women
Could you be among the large number of Indian women affected by anaemia? This infographic gives you a quick picture of how big a problem anaemia is in India, and how to recognise the symptoms.
In the South Asian region, only Bhutan and Nepal perform worse than India when it comes to non-pregnant women (in the reproductive age group) with anaemia. It is shocking as to how prevalent this problem is, among urban as well as rural Indian women. Anaemia has severe health consequences for women including increased risks of maternal mortality. In this infographic, we look at the main reasons, as well as consequences and prevention of anaemia in women.

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.
