“Age Old Stigmas in Modern DaySlums”
Millions of
women call India’s slums “home.” In these densely packed alley ways under
ramshackle roofs, women cook, work, raise children,and share many
of the same experiences as their well-off counterparts.However, these
residents face many other unique challenges that evade even the
most credentialed urban planners and aid workers.
23-year-old Suhani Jalota joins us to discuss these raw, real and often
uncomfortable issues. Founder of the Myna Mahila Foundation,Mumbai, she has
been a tireless crusader for women’s empowerment.Her incredible
work has been lauded by TIME Magazine, Vogue, the BBC, and even
Queen Elizabeth the II. Her NGO was recently selected to receive
donations in lieu of gifts for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Ms.
Meghan (to which she was invited).
