Changing the Lens: Communicating Women's Lives and Livelihoods with P. Sainath (PARI)

'In Solidarity' is a SEWA Cooperative Federation podcast that explores themes relevant to women's economic empowerment and challenges that women-owned, women-run enterprises face. In the second episode, titled 'Changing the lens: communicating women's lives and livelihoods,' we are in conversation with P Sainath, veteran journalist and winner of the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism and Founder, People's Archive of Rural India.

A report by UN Women in partnership with media watchdog Newslaundry revealed that men controlled over 80 percent of TV panel slots and 75 percent of the by-lines in the Indian mainstream media. Women in general but especially, conversations around informality and women's work are practically missing from the media, policy, and development landscape. Economic status, informality, caste, and urban versus rural add several layers to this conversation about the visibility of informal women's lives and livelihoods.

Through this conversation with Mr Sainath, we explore questions around recognising women's work and contribution to the GDP, representing women's lives and livelihoods in the mainstream media, reclaiming the internet and putting the power of the narrative back into women's hands.
