Dickens' classic isn't just festive. It's a scathing critique of classism & a plea for empathy & social responsibility – timeless DEI lessons.

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.
