Support Independent Media
The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeWhile India had much to boast on International Women’s Day – state owned Air India flew an aircraft from Delhi to San Francisco non-stop entirely comandeered by a female crew. But, a feat like this only highlights the sheer disparities in the country as currently only about 27% of women work in India. More women in the workforce would just mean a more productive and progressive economy. A women’s day is a good moment to pause on reflect on the long journey ahead.
