There are various factors contributing to lower FLFPR in India. We write about how most of these factors have further worsened due to Covid and what that means for women and their work

#BREAKING All woman are entitled to safe and legal abortion : Supreme Court.

[BehanBox @BehanBox]

In its latest judgement, the #SupremeCourtOfIndia has ruled that all women are entitled to safe #abortion and discrimination on the grounds of marital status is constitutionally unsustainable. The court even termed the distinction b/w married & unmarried women artificial.

Ultimately, what we choose to believe in is just that-a choice. And beliefs matter since they can be self-fulfilling.

I choose to believe (w/ some supporting evidence:) that we have millions of Saimas & Nadeems who can dream big.

And who will inspire us by achieving even more.

So much chatter around World Breastfeeding Week. All great, except that BF is time-intensive and has huge economic costs for women. In India, over 95% women are engaged in informal work. Talking about BF without addressing maternity benefits is really quite shallow.

Globally, #CSR financing lags behind investments in #climateaction from #governments and #multilateral agencies. In a world plagued by increasing #ClimateCatastrophe, can corporates really afford the business risks associated with #climatechange? @NAEconTeam @earthdayindia

The fact that Notting Hill and You've Got Mail are the best English language romantic comedies made in the last 25 years shows that if you base any decent story around a bookstore it's bound to become immortal. #TheShopAroundTheCorner #TheTravelBookCompany

#Gender: I write in @htTweets on discriminatory provisions under Hindu Succession Act on devolution of property. If men & women donot have a surviving spouse or children: All of husband’s property goes to his natal family, but the women’s property devolves to her in-laws. (1/n)

The data makes it clear - #women’s #job and #income losses during #COVID19 were far greater than men. Our paper in the #JournalOfInternationalWomensStudies estimates the quantum of these #gendergaps and studies the reasons leading to it.
