Feminism In India

#FilmReview: Sreemoyee Singh’s documentary film, And Towards Happy Alleys, is a lyrical tribute not only to Iranian New Wave Cinema but also to the intimate lives and struggles of the women in Iran, both in cinema and everyday life. The Kolkata-born filmmaker’s vérité documentary, thus, becomes a litany of subversion and a flight towards freedom on the wings of poetry and cinema.

#दैनिकलेख: यह फ़िल्म उन पितृसत्तात्मक ढांचों की भी आलोचना करती है जो अक़्सर महिलाओं की भूमिकाओं को निर्धारित करते हैं। फ़िल्म में आशा की यात्रा कई और महिलाओं के संघर्षों का प्रतीक है जो ऐसे बंधन से स्वतंत्र होना चाहती है जहां न सम्मान है न सहानुभूति। By Sonali Rai https://lnkd.in/drUyzjdk #FilmAndWomen #FiveWomenCentricMovies #महिलाकेंद्रितफिल्में #लैंगिकहिंसापरआधारितफिल्में #सिनेमाऔरमहिलाएं

#NewsAnalysis: Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental risks we face today. Conditions have worsened daily. Not only does it affect our health, but in the longer run it contributes to the increasing climate change and extreme weather patterns. The wider implications of air pollution are well-researched such as the risk of respiratory diseases, infections, and complications such as asthma and bronchitis.

#DailyArticle: Women in prisons booked under laws like UAPA and the colonial law sedition become a critical site of the exposition of the fallacy of law. UAPA is infamous for its vague definition of criminal designations like ‘terrorism.’ In multiple petitions against the draconian law, the petitioners argued that an individual booked under this law may be identified as a terrorist without any judicial scrutiny or any free trial.

#दैनिकलेख: लैंगिक हिंसा पर चर्चा आमतौर पर महिलाओं को सशक्त बनाने पर केंद्रित होती है। लेकिन यह दृष्टिकोण अक्सर हिंसा के मूल कारणों को अनदेखा कर देती है। ऐसे कारण, जो पुरुषों के प्रभुत्व, आक्रामकता और अधिकार जताने की सोच से जुड़े हैं। पुरुष और लड़के इन विचारों को बदलने में अहम भूमिका निभा सकते हैं। By Ankit Kumar https://lnkd.in/dSc4RNaw #16DaysOfActivism2024 #PatriarchyAndIndianMen #ViolenceAgainstWomen #पितृसत्ताऔरजेंडर #पितृसत्ताऔरमर्द #महिलाओंकेख़िलाफ़यौनहिंसा

#NewsAnalysis: The increasing catastrophising in India regarding immigrants stealing jobs, causing demographic changes, and posing a threat to locals in the run-up to the Jharkhand State Assembly elections is right out of the far-right playbook While anti-immigrant sentiment runs high, not all immigrants are made equal in the Indian popular and political imagination.

#NewVideo: Launched as part of the #16DaysOfActivism, our short documentary dives deep into the harsh realities faced by women and children living on the streets in Delhi as they grapple with the lack of access to basic sanitation facilities. With all four public washrooms in the area locked and unusable, residents share their stories of survival, resilience, and the constant risks they face, including safety concerns, health hazards, and societal neglect. From tragic accounts of lost lives to the collective frustration of unheard voices, this film sheds light on an issue that affects the dignity and safety of the most vulnerable. Through powerful testimonies and on-the-ground narratives, we expose the urgent need for systemic change and advocate for the right to safe and accessible sanitation for all. Produced by Devika Dinesh and Mamta _ Watch बंद शौचालय, खुली समस्या to understand the human cost of inaction and join us in amplifying the call for accountability and reform. #GenderAndWash #LackOfToilets #AccessToToilets

#समाचारविश्लेषण: आईबीएसए सामग्री की वायरलिटी और पोर्नोग्राफ़ी वितरण तंत्र के काम करने के तरीके के कारण, सामग्री हमेशा प्रचलन में रहती है। इसके प्रसार को रोकना और इसे ऑनलाइन और ऑफलाइन सभी स्थानों से हटाना चुनौतीपूर्ण है। सामग्री का जल्द से जल्द पता लगाना और उसे हटाना जरूरी है। By Malabika Dhar https://lnkd.in/d_mKFkUi #Deepfake #RevengePorn #डीपफैक #पॉर्नऔरहिंसा #महिलाओंकेखिलाफहिंसा #रिवेंजपॉर्न

#NewsAnalysis: On October 25, an early morning Israeli airstrike on southeast Lebanon targeted an area far away from combat-zone, a site known for its camping of journalists. The strike killed three journalists in the compound, leaving several others injured as they slept. The incident surprised many as the rare airstrike hit an area that has been used by the press as a base for covering the war.
