The communication project tries to address societal norms revolving around the patriarchal mindset of curbing women’s agency and freedom by dictating what they should do and how they should behave under the pretence of love and care.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, many women found themselves within the confines of their home and subsequently had to face the direct or subtle dictates of their family which as a result affected their mental health. Through this crowdsourced multilingual podcast, we have tried to create a safe digital space for young urban women between the ages of 22 to 30 years (across intersections of class, caste, religion and gender) with internet access to come out and share their experiences of what they went through during the covid19 imposed lockdown.
There are a total of 5 episodes with each episode divided into two parts. The episodes are in English, Malayalam and Santali.
This podcast has been created by Shivani Das and Shivani Sankhla, as part of the Ideosync UNESCO Information Felłowship, June 2021 special cohort on intersectional feminism and digital rights.
