Register for our FREE online workshop on October 1st at 7pm EST. This discussion challenges the deeply ingrained cultural stereotypes that idealize Indian women as self-sacrificing, obedient, and submissive. While often framed as virtues, these expectations can become harmful when they normalize control, silence women’s voices, and perpetuate abuse within relationships.
