The webinar recording can be accessed here.

Women’s Education Project presents the Red Bangle Award annually to a woman who “by her life and accomplishment demonstrates the indomitable eloquence of the human spirit.” Inaugurated in 2014, the award recognizes women leaders globally who share WEP’s vision and inspire its students, young Indian women, to higher goals.

This year’s recipients, Kalyani Subramanyam, CEO of Maitrayana Charity Foundation, and Meenu Vadera, Founder of Azad Foundation and Sakha Consulting Wings, each embody the spirit of the Red Bangle Award through their deep personal commitment and sustained professional work on issues of gender equality. Kalyani uses sport, life skills education, and leadership development to empower adolescent girls and young women to access their rights and achieve their potential. Meenu supports poor women to gain “livelihoods with dignity” by creating safe employment options for women professional drivers.

Kalyani and Meenu join Zoë Timms, WEP’s Founder and Executive Director, in a discussion of their personal journeys building organizations working towards gender equality. Young women of each organization also join to share stories of their own.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to high school teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, education technology leaders, adult learners, and anyone interested in learning about inspiring global projects promoting gender equality.
