#InternationlYouthDay2021
On Sunday, August 8 th, Japan brought the curtain down on the #TokyoOlympics, (undoubtedly, a much needed event during these hard hitting times, despite many wanting to call it off, but the show went on incredibly well) giving us numerous enchanting moments- pride, hope, cheer, curiosity, worry and high adrenaline rush; covering the entire spectrum of emotions by and large.
Historically the Games have been used as a platform to raise awareness about cultural, political and socio-economic issues. Here the most intriguing aspect is that the world witnessed some rising stars, as young as in the middle school making the history at Tokyo Olympics. Though, there is no specific age limit for taking part in the Olympic Games. This depends on each International Sports Federation and the rules it lays down for its sport, but individual sports have eligibility limits. Gymnasts, for example, must be 16 years old to compete at the Games, while boxers must have turned 18. Olympic skateboarding, notably, has no minimum age requirement, opening the door for young competitors like Brown and Hiraki. The youngest Olympian in the modern history of the games to win a medal was 10-year-old Dimitrios Loundras, a Greek gymnast who helped his team win a bronze medal in team parallel bars at the 1896 Athens Summer Games. Tokyo’s youngest competitor was 12-year-old Syrian table tennis prodigy Hend Zaza, Be it youth Olympics games or #olympics gives equal opportunities to #men and #women players a stupendous and incredible international platformto showcase their charisma to the world. a special platform for youngsters to rise and announce themselves.
Three cheers to #youthpower

A recent post on how a #Ukrainian low cost flight replaced #highheels with sneakers highlighting comfort as priority got me a bit curious to dig out some fun- facts to learn more about the historical account of ‘high heel’ which has always been predominantly associated more with females than males in contemporary times. Ofcourse, heels is a long and complicated source of feminist debate. Feminine, power, poised, professional, stylish, elegant are some of the superlatives used more metaphorically to highlight high heel relationship with women which are far above from the idea of desire to look taller and not confined to a specific gender and not exclusive to women alone.
According to some websites, Women did not begin wearing heels until the mid-1500’s and wore only platform shoes.
The first recorded high heel on a woman was worn by Catherine de Medici.King Louis XIV re-popularized the high heel during his reign in the late 1600’s and early 1700’s who was known to wear red heeled shoes, a design feature now most well associated with and trademarked by Christian Louboutin shoes. It is believed that back in time, Men wore high heels around this time not only as a wealth and status symbol but also to feel more powerful. With the evolution of fashion industry and trends, the purpose to wear heels also changed. It is believed that in 1700’s, women in some societies wore heels to make their feet look smaller.
It is said that World war ii made a massive impact on heels trends.
Unfortunately, wearing high heels can cause damage to one’s body in the long run is the fact known to all by now, despite it, the high heel trend has never been on decline for either gender, though the industry has undergone innumerable experiments to keep the side effects of wearing high heels at bay and by integrating the greater factor of comfort and convenience as fashion is incomplete without the element of comfort, Isn’t it guys?

“If you want to lift up humanity, empower women. It is the most comprehensive, pervasive, high-leverage investment you can make in human beings.”
(Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World)
Instantly fell in love with this quote because this is so very true, logical and well- proven by researches, backed by history, uncovered by studies…
One of the core pillars of Empowerment is ‘ Education’, rather the first step towards the independence for any human being on this planet ( of course, the right kind of education) that deeply influences the overall thought process,impacts social conditioning, helps dropping mental barriers, and supports the individual in being evolved, thereby leading to being independent- physically, emotionally, financially and living with pride!!!
Would love to hear your thoughts on ‘ the right kind of education’.

On a recent event, when two women speakers dropped out owing to childcare crisis that simply left me wondering with the❓
Can women have it all at the same time?
An age-old question wrapped up with a new set of challenges in an unfamiliar career landscape that never seems to have found- size- fits -all solution.
It does not surprise me at all when recent researches state that 69% of women said they would likely be the ones to leave work, compared to 31% of males. There are no two ways about it that in the majority of cases, it is women more than men who adjust their careers for family life, schedule and make compromises when needed for children and other family members collide with work, despite getting far better support from their spouse as never before in changing times. However, doing more certainly does not mean doing enough. Isn’t it???

However, there is a silver lining for those willing to seize the opportunity. As full-time staff positions dwindle, the demand for contractors and freelancers has been rising continuously.

A fiery yet extremely relevant topic with three seasoned panel speakers Elke Esders, Marisa Monterio Bosrboom, and Antje Bauer in a round-table discussion on the WahWoman platform. The side effects of covid -19 can be seen in various ugly forms in different spheres of life including financial, social, and psychological aspects., and one of the undeniable facts is the spike in violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence has intensified during covid lockdowns and restricted movements to curb the infection rate. In this conversation, we have tried to figure out what, why, and how the current situation due to covid 19 exacerbates gender-based violence from a psychological and sociological perspective with an objective to create awareness among societies to change the response towards the victims of gender-based violence and seeking possible solutions.
