On The Importance Of Learning How To Use Abortion Pills
On The Importance Of Learning How To Use Abortion Pills

There is a huge gap when it comes to information on sex and sexuality, and this gap further widens when we talk about abortion. With multiple opinions on abortion and the negative connotations attached to it, the information available is often wrapped in societal notions and judgments - thereby, not being all that useful for those who choose to undergo this procedure.

Unravelling the Tawaifs - An Interview with Saba Dewan
Unravelling the Tawaifs - An Interview with Saba Dewan

"The fact is that the tawaifs as a group have always existed on the margins of patriarchy. ... Though they were not considered quite respectable because of the stigma attached to women being ‘outside’, they were not pariahs either. ... It was a very interesting, fascinating state.

Where did the tawaifs fit in? Their presence was appalling because they don’t quite conform to the notion of Victorian morality."
