What we see online often plays a key role in breaking the mould of stereotypes. TV Shows have pushed forth in this domain, be it through the Chess masterpiece in the Queen’s Gambit or the Urdu dramedy in Chudails.

“Anatomy of a Scandal” exposed flawed victim tropes. Embracing nuanced survivor accounts and evidence-based inquiry ensures fair workplace processes.
Misgendering harms cohesive workplace environments; practising pronouns shows basic respect for colleagues. Here's how we think you can do it best:
Gaslighting at work (veiled criticism or blame-shifting) erodes confidence. Recognise patterns early to safeguard wellbeing and restore trust at work.
Consent Part III explores informed, enthusiastic agreement. Respecting autonomy, ensuring clarity and prioritising communication builds safe relations.
Consent Part II reveals how law and power shape agreement. Boundaries, choice and respectful negotiation are key to integrity and mutual understanding.
Consent means clear, voluntary agreement without pressure. It requires capacity, awareness and ongoing affirmation which are the foundations of trust and respect.
Where are women in Indian science? Bias often overshadows merit, blocking entry & advancement. Recognising & dismantling systemic hurdles is essential for progress.
“Hey lady, drive faster!” reflects casual sexism Indian women drivers face daily – undermining confidence & reinforcing stereotypes. Respect & patience are non-negotiable.
Ziro Music Festival showcases inadvertent equality: diverse artists & audiences organically creating a space of mutual respect & shared joy, proving inclusion can be effortless.
The film PINK powerfully nails workplace harassment realities & victim-blaming culture. It underscores the vital need for consent education & systemic support for survivors.
Rigid gender stereotypes harm children early, limiting aspirations (“boys don’t cry,” “girls aren’t leaders”). Fostering choice & self-expression unlocks true potential.
More women in STEM research isn’t just fair; it’s essential. Diverse perspectives drive groundbreaking discoveries & solutions missed by homogenous teams. Close the gap!
Silence around domestic violence hurts workplaces too. Recognise signs, offer safe support systems & flexible policies to help survivors heal & retain employment.
India’s Domestic Violence Act protects both parties in live-in relationships. Understanding this legal recognition is crucial for safety & seeking rightful recourse.
Cinema often sensationalises domestic violence. Responsible storytelling should highlight realities, survivor strength & pathways to support, not perpetuate myths.
Gaslighting is psychological abuse making victims doubt their reality. Recognise manipulation tactics, trust your instincts & seek support to break free from this.
Women have the right to protection orders, residence, monetary relief & legal aid under India’s Domestic Violence Act. Knowing these enables survivors to be safe.
Consent & boundaries are key. Domestic violence shatters both. Rebuilding starts with respecting autonomy & recognising coercive control as a violation of rights.
Growth isn’t always linear. It’s found in reflection, courage, and community. These stories remind us that change begins when we choose to show up fully and honestly.
When people feel safe, they speak. When they’re heard, they grow. Serein builds that space where awareness isn’t just welcomed, it’s woven into the work.
Borders may divide land, but shared languages, memories, and culture connect hearts. Seeing sameness across lines can be the first step toward healing.
Privilege is what you don’t notice because it protects you. Awareness begins when you do. Change follows when you use it, not just for yourself, but for others.
Career dreams begin in childhood, shaped by gender, family, and context. What we choose and what we leave behind reveals how culture steers ambition over time.
Culture is built through stories, trust, and shared purpose. At Serein, 2017 was a year of learning, belonging, and validation, and a reminder that values scale.
