Gender agenda newsletter: Put on your ruby slippers

The Hindu  

Walking home Welcome to The Hindu’s newsletter that puts gender front and centre. In the best tradition of sisterhood, three of us will share the ‘work’, one every week, each from a different generation of women. But UN Women’s Femicide 2023 report, released in November, says that “60% of the almost 85,000 women and girls killed intentionally during the year were murdered by their intimate partners or other family members”. Each time men see danger in a power shift, they turn to women’s bodies: the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat wants women to have at least three children and the Taliban bans women from health studies. “Are women meant to be just beneficiaries and not representatives?” says Nistula Hebbar, The Hindu’s political editor.
