Redefining Women's Safety in India | Up for Discussion with Priya Varadarajan
Description
As the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women we are thrilled to be joined by Priya Varadarajan, a dedicated advocate for gender justice and the founder of Durga. With over 23 years of experience in governmental affairs and civil society, Priya shares her insights on empowering women and girls to build agency and combat sexual violence in public spaces.
In this episode, we discuss:
• The inspiration behind Durga and its mission to prevent sexual harassment.
•The normalization of inappropriate behaviour and the need to shift societal narratives around women's safety.
•The importance of education and awareness in preventing violence against women, particularly focusing on sensitivity building among men.
•How Durga addresses intersectionality by working with the most vulnerable members of society.
•The role of corporate environments in safeguarding against violence and promoting awareness.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about advocacy, community engagement, and the essential steps needed to create safer public spaces for everyone!
