Episode 19
We couldn’t not address it. The elephant in the room, or rather, the virus in the air. Releasing more than two months since India went into lockdown to contain the novel Coronavirus, this episode of Women in Labour was recorded entirely remotely. This is a slice-of-life perspective on how COVID-19 has impacted the lives of some of India’s working women. With special guests: Kripi Malviya, psychologist and co-founder TATVA center in Goa Devli Bai, Ramli Bai, and Mirki Bai — together with Shram Sarathi and Aajeevika Bureau, we were able to hear from a few women from migrant households about how their lives have been impacted during COVID-19. Ritu Dewan, economist and Vice President of the Indian Society of Labour Economics Mayanti Langer, award-winning sports journalist and cricket presenter Ashu Haldwani, Owner, Get Gorgeous Salon Sahiba Singh Dhupar, Image consultant and body positivity activist MORE TO READ/WATCH.
