    As Maharashtra goes to polls to elect a new government, we bring you issues that we think must be at the heart of the political agenda–issues such as health, inflation, unemployment and other development concerns. Elections are not about politicians alone, they are about people. Behanbox reports on the issues that must matter in the political discourse and governance for the upcoming government. #maharashtraelection2024 #maharashtraelection #elections2024 Interested in reading stories about issues from Maharashtra, follow these links: 1.

    Maharashtra Election 2024: A Feminist Perspective | Apla Vote Matters | Behanbox
    How do state institutions count work? Who is counted as a worker and who is not? While the rate of women’s education has been rising in India, why are they not represented in the workforce? Is there a way to measure women’s unpaid work – both productive and reproductive – in the family? We discuss all these questions and more with economist Ashwini Deshpande, and farmer Godavari Marawi in the second episode of ‘Kaam ki Baat’.

    Kaam Ki Baat Ep 02 | Behan Box
    Behanbox presents our new monthly podcast Kaam Ki Baat, a series of conversations centered around 'Women and Work'. This is created and hosted by Nandita Dutta. In the first episode, Nandita discusses the sexual violence against Dalit and Adivasi women and how that impacts their educational and work aspirations. As more Indian women aspire to be in the workforce, how does caste based gender violence put paid to their ambitions? Dr Shewli Kumar, an academic based in TISS, Mumbai and Augustina Soreng, a grassroots activist bring their perspectives based on years of research and activism. Listen to the episode on Spotify and Youtube.
