🌟 Kerala Leads the Way in Gender Equality!🌟

Kerala's new school textbooks are setting a powerful example by challenging traditional gender roles.📚 These textbooks feature gender-neutral images that show husbands and fathers in the kitchen, promoting equality and inclusivity from a young age.👨‍👧‍👦🌈

By teaching our children that everyone, regardless of gender, can share in all responsibilities, we're paving the way for a more equitable society.🌍✨Let's celebrate and support this progressive step towards breaking stereotypes and building a better future!💪🔓

Indian women are soaring in aviation thanks to outreach programs, improved company practices, and strong family support.✈️ A 1948-formed youth programme called the National Cadet Corps' air wing, which trains pupils to fly microlight aircraft, attracted many Indian women to aviation. While companies like Honda Motor Co. offer full scholarships for training young girls as pilots, state aid has also made pilot training more accessible.
The Indian Air Force now recruits women for fighter roles. Airlines like IndiGo and Vistara offer flexible policies and extended maternity leave to retain female talent. IndiGo provides creches and flexible contracts for pilots, and Vistara offers temporary ground jobs for pregnant pilots.

What a power-packed evening we had in the charming Royal Bombay Yacht Club, Mumbai where our partners U.S. Consulate General Mumbai, Venture Center and PeopleWiz Consulting LLP came together to host the first Cohort Showcase- Driving Success through Diversity!

Our distinguished guests were among the warmest people we have ever met. It was an absolute honour to host US Ambassador Eric Garcetti, Consul General Mike Hankey, Consul General Anita Kelly, Public Affairs Officer Brenda Soya and special invitees from Male Allies for Gender Equality, the U.S.-India Alliance for Women's Economic Empowerment, and the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce.

The cohort members joined us from all parts of the country to showcase their commitment to the DEIA journey. The evening featured an insightful panel discussion on inclusive workplace culture, some amazing exchange of ideas, free-flowing discussions, impactful presentations from some of our most innovative cohort members and the signing of the DEIA charter. We couldn't have been more proud.

As the evening wrapped up, we were inspired to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, with a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

🏳️‍🌈 Today, on May 17th, we stand together for International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT).
