Welcome to Umeed – a word meaning 'hope'. We're the official podcast of Swabhimaan, an initiative under the Centre of New Economics Studies. If you've ever wondered how gender and sexuality influence the world around, you – from economic policy to grassroot activism – this is the space for you. Prepare to be challenged, inspired, and ignited. This year on International Women’s Day, we launch a new project under Umeed - ‘Every Sexism Project’. We chose this day as it a day that celebrates conversations around gender but this no way limits our project to cisgendered experiences. Our aim is to have talk to diverse voices and be inclusive of different narratives. If you have ever felt that invisible nudge towards 'acting your gender'? Or seen unfairness play out just because of someone's identity? Or being forced to fit into society’s binaries? That's what we're unpacking this year under this project. We want to hear voices from our own campus O.P. Jindal Global University on everyday sexism and gender discrimination. Because hope starts with honest conversations. For today’s first episode, Savya from Team Swabhimaan is engaging in a discussion with Jigyasha Anand, a third-year student at the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy (JSGP)
