New Delhi: Several prominent women rights advocates from all walks of life in India have released a statement urging the Myanmar military to release journalist and activist Thin Thin Aung and other illegally detained pro-democracy protesters.
In an appeal, both to the military which assumed power since the coup and to the international community including transnational business stakeholders, the activists have urged that the brutal violence perpetrated on protesters in Myanmar end and people’s rights be restored.

Instead of a guilty pleasure, Indians should see leisure as a form of resistance

Instead of a guilty pleasure, Indians should see leisure as a form of resistance
The pandemic has made many Indians realise the value of leisure. The problem is, not everyone in the nation gets to enjoy it equally.

In an oddly interesting way, the disruption of our social lives by Covid-19 pandemic-driven lockdowns and safety guidelines prompted a series of disquieting reflections on everything from the value of patience to a recovered nostalgia for a less hurried life.
The English-speaking, internet-connected middle class around the world found ways to adapt to the new normal. Confusing narratives emerged about how this pandemic-led epochal downtime could be used effectively. Some were driven to turn every single work-free minute into self-improvement projects. Others discovered the often-overlooked everydayness of “slow leisure”.

Baby bust: The pandemic is halting some women's childbearing plans

At the start of 2020, Tara Finley and her husband were hoping to get pregnant with a third baby. Now, they’re seriously considering scheduling a vasectomy.
Finley, 31, lives in Santa Barbara, Calif., with her husband and two sons, ages 18 months and 3. She is adamant about maintaining their compact family of four — a complete reversal from her stance less than a year ago.
“We always planned on having three kids,” Finley said. Then 2020 happened, and “it felt like everything that could go wrong did.”
Finley, who works at a media company, was furloughed early in the pandemic, and although she has started working full time again, “every single sense of power that I didn’t even realize could be taken away from me was, and that is such a scary feeling.”
