#BreaktheBias – our Alumni’s view

“The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” – Gloria Steinem.

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also raises awareness against discrimination and marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

With the aim to encourage discussions about gender parity and pledge collective action to help forge an equitable and inclusive world, we are organizing a Women’s Day event. During this event, we will have talks about overcoming bias in women’s lives and raising awareness about important issues affecting gender equality. This will be followed by a trivia quiz focused on women’s achievements, and a book club session discussing female centric books. After that, we will have a networking event.

We have an impressive group of our own Alumni sharing their thoughts and provoking discussions.
Talks include:

1: Subtle sexism at workplace. Speaker: Aishwarya Mallik

2: Gender Bias in Design and Thinking. Speaker: Cashmira Pramanik
