Silent warriors of change

Society has rarely acknowledged women for their contributions. Most of them were neither celebrated nor recognized for their sacrifices.

The Statesman, bidding a bye to Women's History Month, hereby platforms the voices of women who felt that experiences and struggles, which are often overlooked due to their gender, can be enlightening.

The miracle of creation In a recent exhibition at the Bridging Culture and Arts Foundation (BCAF), Italian artist Simona Frillici presented her Vibrations series, defining her perspective as a woman and her arduous effort to bridge artistic and cultural gaps between Italy and India.

Simona said, "We females have the ability to create, be it art, nature or life. Some artists say, "Children take energy from your work." I do not agree. Perhaps it is a social construct that women have to have children; instead, it should be a choice. The wealth of our experiences allows us to explore a depth the male cannot experience."
