Girl Up Phoenix
Girl Up is an initiative by the United Nations Foundation which

social change wherever they are. It is a group of dedicated youth
who have joined together with the common commitment to
change the lives of girls in developing countries and to empower
the people around them to take action.

Girl Up Phoenix is a club in the Girl Up Campaign chain which

strives to bring light to stories of women who have defeated all
odds, and rose out of difficulties like the legend of Phoenix. This
club is for people who are like Phoenixes and want to rise from
the ashes, breaking the shackles and fighting the odds.

world where girls are empowered and our future is more splendid

women who fight against the various odds which are prevalent in
our society like gender inequality, mental stigmas, societal

Is feminism a reality in rural India?

As a society, we have made great strides in empowering women post-colonialism

and the urban millennials recognize that there is a lot more to be done.
However, the public discourse, in the past few years, largely influenced by
western feminist rhetoric seems to be happening in a bubble dominated by upper-
middle-class men and women as nowadays less significant factors on the agenda
for women’s empowerment makes more waves and catches everyone’s attention,
while the 22% decline in women’s labour participation falls on deaf ears.
The roots of feminism are growing deeper in the urban society and spreading
swiftly in the rural society as well. But the question arises here is if we can say
that feminism in rural India is really making significant progress?

क्या ग्रामीण भारत में नारीवाद एक वास्तववकता है?

एक समाज के रूप में, हमने उपननवेशवाद के बाद की मनहलाओं को सशक्त बनाने में
काफी प्रगनि की है और शहरी युवा पीढी ने माना है नक अभी भी इस क्षेत्र में बहुि कुछ
नकया जाना बाकी है । हालााँ नक, नपछले कुछ वर्षों में, पनिमी नारीवादी बयानबाजी से
प्रभानवि साववजननक संवाद अब उच्च-मध्यम वगीय पुरुर्षों और मनहलाओं के वर्वस्व वाले
पररवेश में हो रहा है क्ोंनक आजकल मनहला सशक्तक्तकरण के एजेंडे पर कम महत्वपूणव
कारक अनिक िूल पकड़िे हैं और सभी का ध्यान आकनर्षवि करिे हैं, जबनक मनहलाओं
की श्रम भागीदारी में 22% की नगरावट से लोगों के कानों में जूं िक नहीं रें गी।

नारीवाद की जड़ें शहरी समाज में गहराई से बढ रही हैं और ग्रामीण समाज में भी िेजी से
फैल रही हैं । लेनकन यहां सवाल यह उठिा है नक क्ा हम कह सकिे हैं नक ग्रामीण
भारि में नारीवाद वास्तव में महत्वपूणव प्रगनि कर रहा है ?
