EVENTS
Founder Janvi Prasad's TEDx Talk
From the Silicon Valley, she has grown up in a world that has pushed for women to continuously excel in their career and home life. The problem arises when women are the only ones being pushed, but other genders, males specifically, are not aware of the strides taken to achieve such success. This, in effect, contributes to the overall misogyny that continues to run rampant in the society. The lack of education on equality creates an inherent divide between the sexes. In Janvi’s speech, “Just telling girls that they are equal isn't enough", she explores the importance of education for all genders on the struggles that women go through in order to succeed in society—breaking the common narrative of women having to struggle to push for equality alone.
