Top Women empowerment campaigns that honour women

Powerful women in Bollywood

Top ad campaigns on women empowerment.

Ad shows how creepy Men look when they stare at Women on the street

Here’s a brilliant video on women empowerment, made by Whistling Woods International films school.

Eve teasing, getting unwanted stares, inappropriate touches, are some of the problems that most women in India face.

This video highlights the harassment and embarrassment that women face in their day today life (i’m sure this problem isn’t unique just to India), and encourages women to stand up for themselves and fight such atrocities.

Lyrics of the song used in the background means “This is how you look when you stare at me.”

There are many in men in India (even politicians) who say that part of the problem is because women don’t dress appropriately and need to cover up. In the video, there’s a woman in burqa, literally covering all her body except her face and hands, and yet the man stares at her (it happens in real life too).

Photographer shoots women wearing cow masks in public places

A series of images, featuring women in cow masks have started going viral. These images have been shot as part of a campaign by Sujatro Ghosh, a Delhi-based photographer, who believes that Indian society values cows more than women.

  • A woman sits on a classroom bench in Kolkata writing on a sheet of paper
  • A middle-aged woman with a bag full of purchases stands next to a butcher’s shop
  • A young woman poses in front of India Gate in New Delhi

They are all women but what is weird about the photographs is that they all are wearing cow masks.

The question being asked is whether women’s safety in India is secondary to topics like cow vigilantism, lynching and people’s eating habits?

“We are living at a time when cows are protected but women are not. Issues pertaining to women’s rights are suppressed while everyone is focussing on political concerns. What’s happening to our country?” questions Ghosh.

My art comes as a form of protest. In my country Cows are more important than a woman’s life with more security. (Reference: Majority of Hindus believe cow as their holy animal and they worship it though Majority of Muslims consume it as a part of their daily meal.) The debate is never ending “Whether to consume or worship it” but gaining political benefits out of it is wrong. Why not let the people decide what they want to consume. I will be photographing women from different parts of the society. I would be more than happy if you reach out to me and want to get photographed or maybe join this form of protest. Nicole says : “At least if I walk down the streets in a cow mask, my chances of being harassed will probably be slim. No one wants to harass anyone who looks like a deity or a representative of a deity.” #RisingBeyondJingoism #classroom #cow #women #protest #womenpower #politics #indiarising #studying #live #animals @instagram #love #laugh #art #standup #everydayeverywhere #indiaphotoproject #everydayindia #womenphotographers #myfeatureshoot

The politically explosive question asked in the campaign has earned the photographer the ire of Hindu nationalist trolls. However, women from all over the world are reaching out and wish to be a part of the campaign.

Ghosh has funded the project from his own pocket but is now contemplating crowdfunding his journeys. As of now, Ghosh has shot in hometown Kolkata and Delhi, but now plans to shoot in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kerala, and North Eastern states.
