00:00Hello ladies, how are you doing?
00:07Fine!
00:08Who is the first Indian woman to go on space?
00:12Kamla
00:13Kamla?
00:14Who is Kamla?
00:16The ability to work and put yourself forward in spite of the challenges and every hardship that you face
00:25Because now a days people need to know that women are standing just right next to men
00:30I think many women think that feminism is about men becoming their stepping stone
00:36They want men or other people to become their stepping stone to reach the success
00:41But the thing is that girls think that if boys are abusing then why can't we?
00:45Boys are wearing short clothes then why can't we?
00:47So this is the pseudo-feminism of boys
00:50Standing next to other gender doesn't mean that you will start smoking like them
00:54That you will start abusing like them
00:56And that you will start defaming other genders to stand up against them
01:01It should be a support, not like we are standing for each other like we are on shoulder to shoulder
01:06But I think that it's very important that they get the support that a lady needs from their side also
01:12How men's day should be celebrated? Let's keep it simple
01:17Protect them
01:18Like how girls should be protected
01:20Protect them from?
01:21Girls
01:22Girls? Okay
01:25Hello there, you are watching One India News
01:27My name is Arushi Ranjan and this is another episode of One India's special Women's Day series
01:33One India, Her India
01:35And today I am very excited to be here at Satyam School of Journalism and Mass Communication
01:41Where young ladies not only shape stories but they also write their own
01:46And today I am surrounded by those people
01:49Hello ladies, how are you doing?
01:51Fine
01:53Okay, so first of all, Happy Women's Week to all of you
01:58I hope you guys are enjoying today's 1st of March
02:01And we have kick-started the month of women empowerment, right?
02:05Yes
02:06Now, this session is not going to be a boring one or a panel discussion, you know
02:11We are going to have a chit-chat session
02:14We'll have conversations
02:16So feel free to speak your heart out and share whatever your views are
02:21So let's start
02:22First of all, I am not going to ask each of you your name
02:26So I'll just ask you if you have to describe your personality in one word
02:32Then what that one word would be
02:34Let's start
02:40So what's the one word which describes your personality?
02:43Sensitive
02:45Sensitive, okay
02:46What's the one word which describes your personality?
02:49Outspoken
02:50Outspoken, that's amazing
02:51You?
02:52Warrior
02:53Warrior, okay, amazing
02:54I am getting very new words
02:56What's the one word which describes your personality, dear?
02:59Strong
03:00Strong, okay
03:01You?
03:02Ambitious
03:03Ambitious
03:04I am already guessing your personalities
03:07Now, we are heading to a segment where I am going to ask you questions to these ladies
03:18So first of all, let's come to this row
03:22Okay
03:23Who is your biggest woman inspiration whom you have grown up watching
03:28And you want to be like her once in your life?
03:31Maybe I can say Priyanka Chopra
03:34Priyanka Chopra, can you tell me why?
03:37Because she is very confident and a self-made woman
03:40And without any support from any outer forces
03:47She has built herself and become what she is right now
03:52Okay, great
03:53Priyanka Chopra is her inspiration
03:56I want to ask you
03:57If you get a chance or you get a power to swap your life with a woman leader
04:03Or a woman personality for a day
04:05And you get to live her life
04:07Then who she will be?
04:08Actually, she will be my mom
04:10Because she raised up in an environment where her brother doesn't want to get educated
04:18Like her father and brother doesn't want her to get more involvement
04:24Because she wants to become an advocate and wants to perform her education
04:30So she decided in her 40s to get a professional PhD degree
04:37If I ask you to give a slogan on women empowerment
04:42We have already many
04:43But if you want to give one in your words
04:46Then what would you come up with?
04:49The common slogan that is
04:51Education is the most powerful weapon that can change the world
04:54And education is the key that you can shape the world
04:58According to a positive perspective
05:01You know we all make mistakes when we are young, right?
05:05And these ladies have covered a long way here in a college of journalism
05:10And many of them live away from their family
05:13And they are doing something to complete their one dream
05:17Now we are heading to the second segment of our session
05:20Which is rapid fire quiz round
05:28Now, aren't our lives like a rapid fire these days?
05:32We are always busy juggling around different things
05:35In college, if I talk about
05:38You sometimes get a call from your parents
05:40You have to do your assignments
05:42Sometimes get a call from your boyfriends too
05:46So, you have to manage all of these things together at once, right?
05:50So, in this session only the quick answers are going to be applauded
05:55You have to be quick
05:57Who is the first Indian woman to go on space?
06:00Kamala
06:02Who is Kamala?
06:04Kalpana Chawla
06:06Oh yeah, that's true, Kalpana Chawla
06:08Name one Bollywood movie which is based on fashion entrepreneurship
06:13Fashion
06:14Yes, fashion by Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut
06:17Okay, you tell me one woman in US Congress
06:23One woman in US Congress, who knows it?
06:26No, no, in US, United States Congress
06:29Kamala Harris
06:31Kamala Harris
06:32Okay, tell me who is the Chief Minister of Delhi
06:35Who is going to tell me that?
06:37Show of your hands
06:39Okay, I am seeing that many of you know who is the Chief Minister of Delhi
06:45She was recently appointed
06:48Who is the woman Chief Minister of Delhi?
06:50Rekha Gupta
06:51Rekha Gupta, that's true
06:53Okay, who said there is no limit to what we as women can accomplish?
06:59That's a strong quote
07:01I think she knows it
07:03Michelle Obama
07:05Michelle Obama said so
07:07Now we are heading to the third segment
07:09Which is the social media segment
07:16Now, talking about social media girls
07:19I am assuming all of you are on social media, right?
07:23Any of you who is not using social media?
07:26Or having no social media handles?
07:29Now, spam the camera
07:31None of these girls are not on social media
07:33That's a great thing
07:34We need to follow up with the generation, right?
07:37And on social media, things go viral very easily, right?
07:41Things go viral, trending
07:43But for a very small span of time
07:46It also vanishes easily
07:49And on social media, now that Women's Day is coming on 8th March
07:53There are going to be people who will come up with quotes and posts of women empowerment
07:58But in real life, do they really empower women?
08:07I want someone who hasn't spoken yet
08:11What's feminism?
08:13The ability to work and put yourself forward
08:17In spite of the challenges and every hardship that you face
08:22Because nowadays, people need to know that women are standing just right next to men
08:28That's the whole reason why feminism was started
08:32So that women could stand shoulder to shoulder with men, right?
08:35But these days, girls, we also see that feminism is being wrongly misused on social media
08:42They also call it pseudo-feminism or lipstick feminism
08:47Where women, yes, women are using it negatively
08:51And trying to put the other gender down
08:54What's your say on that?
08:56Who's gonna answer me this intense question
08:58Which is very serious and should be heard
09:01Okay, I'll come to you after her
09:04I think many women think that feminism is about men becoming their stepping stone
09:11They want men or other people to become their stepping stone to reach the success
09:16But feminism is not about that
09:18It's about having equal rights and right to speak and do whatever they want
09:23It's not about that I just want to do the job or everyone should be able to do the job
09:28If somebody wants to be the housemaker, she should be allowed to be a housemaker
09:32If I don't want to wear modern clothes, I want to wear Indian traditional clothes
09:36So I should not be judged over that
09:38She's saying that if a woman wants to be a housemaker, she could be a housemaker
09:43She's saying that if a woman wants to stay at home, she can stay at home
09:48Because she's following what her instincts are saying
09:51What's her choice?
09:52And that's the true feminism
09:54Not wearing short clothes, going out and hanging around with people
09:58Whom you shouldn't be hanging around with
10:00You wanted to answer this question
10:02Yeah
10:03The pseudo-feminism is like that
10:05We see that in our society, mostly girls think like equality in genders
10:10Yes, equality in genders matter a lot
10:12But the thing is that girls think like
10:14If boys are abusing, why can't we?
10:16Boys are wearing short clothes, why we can't wear?
10:18So this is the pseudo-feminism of girls
10:21That if we abuse or wear short clothes, then we will have feminism
10:25Real feminism is like opportunities
10:27Equal opportunities in your studies, education, going out, doing a job
10:32This is real feminism
10:33Some people define feminism from a negative perspective
10:36That is the pseudo-feminism
10:38I must say, Satyam Institute has such empowered women
10:43She was very right
10:44Standing next to other gender doesn't mean that you will start smoking like them
10:49That you will start abusing like them
10:51And that you will start defaming other genders to stand up against them
10:56Okay, now I want to ask you all
10:59Combinedly, I want to ask
11:01Do you think that women are really empowered in this society?
11:08Okay, give me one reason
11:10It should be one line answer
11:12I am coming to all of you
11:13Give me one line why women are still not empowered
11:17Empowered women
11:20Society thinks that empowered means doing a job
11:25People say that empowerment is happening
11:29Girls are going to work
11:32But doing a job is not empowerment
11:38Women have their rights
11:41And what they want to do
11:45Their opinion in everything
11:47This is women empowerment
11:49It's not that they were allowed to do a job
11:51So this is not women empowerment
11:53Empowerment means
11:56Women should be given their rights
12:00They should be given freedom
12:02This is what women empowerment is
12:04Okay, so she is saying
12:06Why would women need a permission from any men or any person
12:12To do something they want
12:14If they want to do a job, good enough
12:16If they want to take care of a family, good enough
12:19Now why women are not empowered?
12:21I guess, as long as there is a question
12:23If we are empowered or not
12:24It's a proof that we are not empowered yet
12:26And as long as there are conflicts and fights
12:29Why we need feminism
12:31We don't need feminism
12:32And why support women
12:34As long as it's a proof that feminism is not here
12:37Empowerment is not here
12:39Okay, now give me one line
12:41Why women are not empowered according to you
12:44Due to lack of support systems
12:47And lack of job opportunities
12:49Okay, any one of you thinks
12:52That we women are actually on the stairs of empowerment
12:56And we are improving
12:58Yes we are
13:00Because we have seen the evolution in women empowerment
13:04The condition of women which was in the 90s
13:07We have come a long way
13:09Look at you girls
13:10Standing here, sitting here
13:12And studying in this university
13:14The whole cause of which is women empowerment
13:18Now, I would like to come to another question
13:21Which is
13:22Do you think women are empowering each other
13:26And they are stepping the stairs
13:29But men also play a big role in women empowerment
13:34So, yes
13:36So what do you think
13:37How men can empower women
13:40So that both the genders or all the genders
13:43Build a good society
13:45Where everyone is equal
13:47How do you feel that men should be playing their role
13:50Ma'am, I think it should be a support
13:53Not like we are standing for each other
13:55Like we are on shoulder to shoulder
13:57But I think that's very important
13:59That they should get the support
14:01Which a lady needs
14:02From their side also
14:04Not just their perspective or empowerment
14:07It's not about a single hand
14:09If man needs that
14:12Her woman has to get more successful in her life
14:15I think they should work harder
14:18Because of their support
14:20Even today, no matter how much we do
14:22It's still patriarchal only
14:23Because if a boy and a girl are walking together
14:26It's taken out
14:27It's natural
14:28Yeah, those cringy Bollywood dialogues
14:31We all have grown up watching
14:33Ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi ho sakte
14:35Do you wanna laugh on that?
14:37Because I really wanna do
14:39Okay, let's come in this row
14:41And ask girls
14:43Why do they think
14:45That men also play a big role
14:48In empowering women
14:50Who's gonna answer?
14:53My father
14:54Who's playing a role in my education
14:56That I'm developed
14:58That's why he helped me in my empowerment
15:00The area where we come from
15:02In rural areas
15:03There are still many girls
15:04And many families
15:05Who don't support in education
15:07Whereas my father
15:08Doesn't come to college with me
15:10But he made me so able
15:12That I can come here
15:13And prove myself
15:15And develop myself
15:17That's great
15:18Kudos to your father
15:19There are many parents like this
15:21Or fathers like hers
15:23Who are actually
15:25Educating their girls
15:26Equal to their boys
15:27Despite of even thinking about
15:29Their genders
15:30Now, this brings me
15:32To the next question
15:33So, men in the society
15:35Are like playing roles
15:38And they are also empowering women
15:41We are celebrating women's day
15:43With such enthusiasm
15:45Whole women's week
15:46Women's month
15:478th March is gonna be full
15:49Like social media
15:50Is gonna flood
15:51With women's day posts
15:53But do any of you even
15:55Remember when men's day
15:57Is celebrated?
16:04Anyone who knows
16:05When men's day is celebrated?
16:08No, right?
16:09Now, that's the difference
16:11We are celebrating one gender
16:13With such enthusiasm
16:15But at the same time
16:16We are forgetting
16:17The other ones
16:19If I wanna ask you
16:20How men's day should be celebrated?
16:23Let's keep it simple
16:25Protect them
16:26Just like we protect girls
16:28Protect them from?
16:29Girls
16:30Girls?
16:31Okay
16:38Now, we say that
16:40There are few taboos
16:42In the society
16:43For example
16:44Menstruation
16:45Pregnancy
16:46Depressions
16:47Nobody talks about that, right?
16:49Which women goes through
16:51Do you think that
16:52These taboos
16:53Are still existing in the society?
16:55Or
16:56We have come to a point
16:58Where we have
16:59Tackled it
17:00And come through it
17:01And it has been vanished?
17:04It's still there?
17:05Still there?
17:06Do you discuss periods
17:07With your father?
17:10Most of you don't, right?
17:12Do you agree
17:13With these advertisements
17:15Showing
17:16Women jumping
17:17In their menstruation cycle
17:19In white pants?
17:22We all have seen
17:23Ananya Pandey
17:24Jumping on mountains
17:25Wearing those white pants
17:26Do you agree
17:27That's real?
17:29We all go through
17:30Such huge
17:31Period cramps, right?
17:33Okay
17:34And it was
17:35Very lovely
17:36Talking to these ladies
17:37At Satyam School of Journalism
17:39And Mass Communication
17:40I can't express
17:42How fun it was
17:43I told you
17:44It's going to be
17:45A chit-chat session
17:46And you made it one
