The panel discussion on “Margin to Mainstream – Strategies for Empowerment” at IDEATE 2025 explored the pathways to advance women’s leadership and foster inclusive growth.

Sara Abdullah Pilot, Founder & Chairperson, CEQUIN, highlighted that women continue to face challenges ranging from maternity and workplace policies to broader social freedoms. She emphasized the need to share experiences and collaborate across regions to build more effective solutions.

Aradhana Rai Gupta, Co-founder, Project Baala, emphasized that meaningful change requires both women and men to engage, with open conversations on health, education, and empowerment. She noted that India’s vast youth population brings fresh perspectives and energy to address long-standing challenges.

Adding to this, Vijay Mahajan, Founder, BASIX Social Enterprise Group, underscored that convergence is key to driving holistic change. He noted that faster progress requires focus on education, health, financial access, and opportunities, while also enabling more women to shape policies through political leadership.

Panel Moderator Roshika Singh, Principal Country Officer, India Country Team, IFC India, further emphasized that dialogues like IDEATE are critical in fostering collaboration among stakeholders and strengthening efforts towards women’s empowerment.

The discussion provided a space to exchange experiences, explore challenges, and identify actionable strategies to bring women from the margins to the mainstream.

@Sewa_Intl Glad to partner to support dignified periods 💙

Making a Difference Where It Matters Most

We're proud to share that our team successfully distributed 3000+ sanitary napkins to women and adolescent girls in the Yamuna flood-affected areas! 💙

Thanks to the incredible donation from @ProjectBaala, we were able to reach 400+ women and girls in Yamuna Khadar, Mayur Vihar, and Extension areas who needed support during these challenging times.

Menstrual hygiene is a basic right, not a privilege. During natural disasters and emergencies, women and girls face additional challenges in maintaining their health and dignity. Our distribution drive focused on ensuring that flood-affected communities have access to essential feminine hygiene products.

Every napkin distributed represents hope, dignity, and care for our community members who needed it most. Together, we're building a more inclusive and supportive society! 🤝

Thank you to all our volunteers, donors, and partners who made this initiative possible. Your support creates real impact! ✨

[JAKSON Group @JaksonGroup]

At Jakson Group, we believe that meaningful conversations create meaningful change. This #MenstrualHealthDay, we're proud to showcase our partnership with Project Baala that's transforming lives in Noida's urban communities.

Through our initiative, we've empowered more than 500 women with knowledge and sustainable menstrual products. But the real transformation lies beyond statistics. By training 9 local women as community champions, we've created a sustainable model where change comes from within. These champions are breaking taboos, fostering open conversations, and ensuring every woman has the dignity she deserves.
