Literature expands horizons, offering windows into diverse LGBTQIA+ lives.
Indian cinema, particularly Hindi, is slowly portraying queer stories with more authenticity and care. Here are some:
These works explore the complexities of LGBTQIA+ identities in an Indian context.
Dismissing elder vulnerability worsened outcomes, exposing societal disregard for ageing. Yet the older holding on to key decision making hampered decision making.
Subtle slights accumulate, harming morale, productivity and retention over time. Microagressions can hamper the morale of the workforce and here's how:
The art of valuing labour rights and respect transforms jobs into fulfilling, sustainable careers. Here's why it's key:
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.
