00:00Do you think women are empowering each other and they are stepping the stairs, but men
00:08also play a big role in women empowerment.
00:12So yes.
00:14So what do you think, how men can empower women so that both the genders or all the
00:20genders build a good society where everyone is equal.
00:25How do you feel that men should be playing their role?
00:28I think it should be a support, not like we are standing for each other like shoulder
00:34to shoulder.
00:35But I think that's very important that they get the support that a lady needs from their
00:40side also.
00:41Not just their perspective, their empowerment.
00:44It's not about a single hand.
00:48If man needs that her woman has to get more successful in her life, I think he should
00:55get that.
00:56Because without their support, no matter how much women do, it's still patriarchal only.
01:00Because if a boy and a girl are walking together, then the wrong meaning is taken out.
01:04It's natural.
01:05Yeah, those cringy Bollywood dialogues.
01:08We all have grown up watching Ladka Aur Ladki Kabhi Dost Nahi Ho Sakte.
01:13Do you want to laugh on that?
01:14Because I really want to do.
01:17Okay, let's come in this row and ask girls, why do they think that men also play a big
01:25role in empowering women?
01:27Who's going to answer?
01:30My father is playing a role in my education.
01:33I am developed, that's why he has helped me in my empowerment.
01:37The area where we come from, there are still a lot of girls and families in rural areas
01:42who don't support in education.
01:44Although my father doesn't come to college with me, but he made me so able that I can
01:49come here and prove myself and develop myself.
01:53That's great.
01:54Kudos to your father.
01:55There are many parents like this, especially many fathers like hers, who are actually educating
02:02their girls equal to their boys, despite of even thinking about their genders.
02:07Now, this brings me to the next question.
02:10So, men in the society are playing roles and they are also empowering women.
02:17We are celebrating Women's Day with such enthusiasm.
02:21Whole Women's Week, Women's Month, 8th March is going to be full.
02:26Social media is going to flood with Women's Day posts.
02:29But do any of you even remember when Men's Day is celebrated?
02:41Anyone who knows when Men's Day is celebrated?
02:45No, right?
02:46Now, that's the difference.
02:48We are celebrating one gender with such enthusiasm.
02:52But at the same time, we are forgetting the other ones.
02:55If I want to ask you, how Men's Day should be celebrated?
03:00Let's keep it simple.
03:03Protect them.
03:04Protect them from?
03:06Girls.
03:07Girls?
03:08Okay.
03:10Okay.
03:15Now, we say that there are few taboos in the society.
03:20For example, menstruation, pregnancy, depressions.
03:24Nobody talks about that, right?
03:26Which women go through.
03:28Do you think that these taboos are still existing in the society?
03:32Or we have come to a point where we have tackled it and come through it
03:38and it has been vanished.
03:40It's still there.
03:41It's still there?
03:42Still there?
03:43Do you discuss periods with your father?
03:46No.
03:47Most of you don't, right?
03:49Do you agree with these advertisements showing
03:53women jumping in their menstruation cycle in white pants?
03:59We all have seen Ananya Pandey jumping on mountains
04:02wearing those white pants.
04:03Do you agree that's real?
04:06We all go through such huge period cramps, right?
04:10Okay.
04:11And it was very lovely talking to these ladies
04:14at Satyam School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
04:17I can't express how fun it was.
04:20I told you it's going to be a chit-chat session
04:23and you made it one.
04:24Thank you so much.
04:25Women's Day is all about breaking stereotypes,
04:28empowering women and celebrating all of us together.
04:33Thank you so much for watching
04:35and all of you, Happy Women's Day!
