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.

Articles 14 (equality), 15(3) (protective discrimination), 19 (expression) & 21 (dignity) form the constitutional bedrock for PoSH safeguards.
Document evidence via screenshots, file cybercrime complaints at cybercell.gov.in or local police under IPC 354D/IT Act 66A, seeking protection orders.
Essential steps: Gender-neutral facilities, pronoun sensitisation, trans-inclusive PoSH training & explicit anti-discrimination clauses in HR policies.
Beyond compliance: Anonymous pulse surveys, bystander training, leadership accountability metrics & trauma-informed IC members foster true safety.
Prioritise safety, document thoroughly, avoid mediation, maintain neutrality, follow timelines strictly & ensure complainant knows support resources.
Know: Right to workplace safety (PoSH), equal pay, maternity benefits, dignity (Art 21), privacy, unionise, against retaliation & access justice.
LGBTQIA+ individuals globally endure prejudice, hatred & discrimination – denying safety, dignity & equal rights. Acceptance & legal protection are fundamental, not optional.
Can we dismantle the “default parent” expectation? Sharing caregiving equitably challenges rigid gender roles, benefiting families, careers & true equality at home & work.
Diversity demands more than hiring quotas. It requires constant nurturing: inclusive culture, equitable growth paths, belonging & challenging biases daily to retain diverse talent.
Avoid performative gestures this Women’s Day. Move beyond flowers & platitudes. Invest in equal pay, leadership pathways, safety policies & meaningful action year-round.
That startup idea with potential? It stalled, lacking diverse perspectives crucial for innovation & market fit. Homogeneous teams often miss key insights & opportunities.
A harsh truth for Indian women in law: significant underrepresentation persists, especially in senior roles & judiciary, despite qualifications. Barriers remain high.
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.
A break doesn’t break your career. With patience, purpose, and a little ‘me time,’ a restart can be a reinvention – on your terms, in your time, with confidence.
Career breaks don’t erase capability. With experience, adaptability, and the right support, women returning to work can lead fast, thrive faster and uplift teams too.
