Voice of Indian Women

With Inputs: Soubhik Chakrabarti

This website as the name suggests aims at bringing out the real voice of women of India. This is not just a question of security outside the house but also inside the house. Women are battered on a regular basis in the very confines of their houses. Every revolution needs a voice; this website is the voice of revolution. The collective voice of women will perhaps make a difference and make our world a better place.

The site basically draws on the position of women in the twenty first century. It seeks an insight at the way women are being treated in our society. It deals with the sexual double standards and seeks to bring the voice of women together. An active participation, debates and discussions related to current affairs will be helpful in order to take things to the next level.
