Global Feminism At Its Best

See how 50-year old Indian Artisan Kakuben Lalabhai Parmar (pictured far right) is an advocate for women here.

Snippet here:

“I already experienced the biggest change in my life,” she said, speaking a Gujarati dialect through an interpreter, “when I first got the chance to come out of my house and participate in society.”

Ms. Parmar’s moment of liberation came roughly 20 years ago, when the not-for-profit Sewa Project formed a unit in her village to help preserve endangered handicrafts and, equally, to provide the people who make them a form of alternative employment.
