Striiling

Organizer

Sep 2019Mar 2022 · 2 yrs 6 mos · Pune Area, India

  • We at Striiling believe and have come to understand that women in the workforce are fewer in recent times, when we researched further we learnt that there were several factors that caused this, one of them being fewer women role models and lack of motivation and support from spouses and other family members.
  • Women join the workforce in equal number especially after graduation and post graduation but after a few years these numbers diminish, due to several social reasons.
  • Via our initiative of the Striiling talks we wish to talk about the benefits of financial freedom discussed by a women whom they can see as role model and the awakening in the men by conversation by a man whose wife is a working woman and who lives the example.
  • We want to be able to have this conversation with all gender and across the age group from 12 onwards. We wish to be positive and always hopeful of making this endeavour successful, even if we succeed in making 1 women stay back in the workforce we would feel content that we have been able to make the difference.
