L'Oreal Paris in partnership with NDTV is launching the "Women of Worth" Awards, a platform and campaign that will scout, recognize and felicitate  the achievements of ordinary women who have achieved extraordinary success in making a difference to the lives of others through their bravery, their convictions and their drive. This campaign seeks to showcase their inspirational and impactful work to the world at large.

The "Women of Worth" campaign and award that follows will aim to encourage public discourse and bridge not only the gender gap but also address the regional, sectoral, developmental, linguistic and social imbalances. We will also take this campaign across India and  will interact with grassroots organizations, academic institutes, corporates, startups, innovators, leaders and public interest movements to find the most deserving, and hitherto unrecognized , salient heroes who selflessly give back to society.  

On March 8, 2016, the International Women's Day, the campaign will organize a women's leadership summit - the "Women Of Worth" Conclave. Influencers and opinion makers from all walks of life will come together to debate and deliberate the most critical issues facing the women in India.

Economic growth cannot be the only parameter to judge progress. Human development indicators and how empowered women are need to be taken into account to judge progress of any civilised society: Shabana Azmi at the Women of Worth Conclave.
Women of Worth Conclave Session on An Anatomy of the Male Gaze

India's Daughters: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Session Two: Will India's New Woman Find a Progressive Catalyst for Growth in Our Government & Corporations?
Women of Worth Conclave Session: We, The Unequal
Till we don't openly talk about sex and sexuality with our children, the problem will persist. Till then the stigma will not go away: Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, Politician

Filmmakers and artists have to exercise self-regulation in how we project women, objectifying and commodifying women is wrong: Shabana Azmi, Actor

Our female counterparts have to work harder than us to reach Parliament. Politics is still male dominated. But things are changing. In Odisha's self help groups, one sees that women are more vocifeorus now. They are becoming far more relevant today than when I became an MLA:
Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, Politician


Freedom is seen to be threatening. Sexuality, liberation, equality is seen to be threatening. Men oppression is not just about power but it is also about fear. Power is the substitute of sexuality in India: Shiv Visvanathan, Social Scientist

We don't talk about sexual autonomy. Women who are doing something on their own terms are almost seen to be taking a risk. To challenge the stare you have to challenge the sense of power of men: Vrinda Grover, Lawyer, Researcher, Human Rights & Women's Rights Activist


After Nirbhaya, while women safety issues got highlighted but the attitude that emerged was that women need protection: Kalpana Vishwanath, Co-founder Safetipin, Former Chief of Jagori

Staring is almost unreported crime as no women wants to take the trouble of going through the hassle of reporting and proving such an act: Vrinda Grover, Lawyer, Researcher, Human Rights & Women's Rights Activist
We did a campaign 'Staring hurts'. Looking is different from staring . Men blame what women wear and so on, somehow women our expected to exercise all the control in our society: Kalpana Vishwanath, Co-founder Safetipin, Former Chief of Jagori

The problem lies in the patriarchal mindset where as soon as a boy is born, he is given a sense that he is superior than women. Today when women talk about freedom, she dresses a certain way then it is said, 'she is asking for it': Shabana Azmi, Actor


Women of Worth Conclave, Session Four: An Anatomy of the Male Gaze

Panelists for the next session check-in at Women of Worth Conclave.
We worship goddesses and yet women have to wage a battle against a ban on their entry in certain religious places in this country: Mukul Rohatgi, Attorney General of India

Marital rape is not recognised in our laws which we have inherited from colonial times. Merely passing laws to stop such atrocities or empower women like reservation of seats in Panchayat, will not make a difference to the mindset, unless and until the thought of equality is nurtured in every man in the family: Mukul Rohatgi, Attorney General of India







360 View: Women of Worth Conclave Session on Looking Back, Looking Forward
Family support is critical for women to progress. But women need to take the lead and not depend on others to change things for them: Arati Devi, Sarpanch, Dhunkapada, Odisha & Former Banker


Apart from education, we have to look at holistic growth, for both boys and girls, to build an equitable democratic society: Nidhi Dubey, Country Director, Girl Rising India


India is still a very conservative society. We do not want the women to rise to a level where the man will feel inferior. These things still happen and it will take time to change. It will change but it has not come to a stage where men give women the space for her to grow: Farooq Abdullah

Don't be afraid but be aware. Education is the key. We need to teach children really early about gender equality: Justice Leila Seth


Session Three on Women Worth of Conclave: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Those fathers who don't have daughters are very unlucky: Farooq Abdullah

Coming up Keynote speech by Former Union Minister, Farooq Abdullah

360-degree video: Need strong women who can speak their mind, says Syeda Hameed
