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 is a day that celebrates conversations around gender, but this in no way limits our project to cis-gendered experiences. Our aim is to have talks 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. Today's Episode is the second one of the three-part series between Swabhimaan's Everyday Sexism Project and JGU GirlUp Society. This series is a three-part deep dive into JGU Girl Up's amazing work on campus. For the second episode in the series, Savya from Team Swabhimaan is engaging in a discussion with Mehuli, the JGU GirlUp Vice President, and Arushi, their Events Director.
