Not shocked by this commentary, but disappointed that @AJOG_thegray gave it a platform. Responding as someone who added some to those 200+ publications on #ObstetricViolence This is exactly how a deeply concerning issue that needs urgent attention gets diluted #EmotionallyCharged – at Greater Vancouver A, British Columbia

Air India express flight I5792 cancelled, no intimation. Rude behaviour of AI staff at Delhi, Guwahati. We 2 elderly women with daughter reached Guwahati AI792 today. Luggage not reached. Irresponsible, arrogancy towards traveller's. @AAI_Official @DelhiAirportGMR @JM_Scindia

Excellent example of how lived experience matters!
I would like to share the story of how a patient with cancer came up with the idea for a randomized trial, & how listening to him saved a lot of lives. 1/ In 2002, I had just completed a randomized trial with the notorious drug thalidomide for the cancer, multiple myeloma.

What a giant leap! Such important & essential steps taken by Government of Telangana in ensuring positive birthing experience for women birthing in government hospitals. Mrs Karuna Vakati delivers the 14th Dr Lourdes C Fernandez Oration & talks Telangana’s Midwifery Journey.

The suggestion of a 70 hr work week is underpinned on the invisible domestic labour of women AND by definition excludes women from the workforce. In 2023, this is preposterous & very old school. #WomenAtWork #DomesticLabour #SexualDivisionOfLabour #CareWork #Equity #Inclusion

PLEASE RT! I am disabled and I got married at the Registrars Office at Khar Mumbai on 16/10/23. The office was on the 2nd floor WITHOUT a lift. They wouldn’t come downstairs for the signatures and I had to be carried up two flights of stairs to get married.

Hey, @airtelindia @Airtel_Presence I have had enough of your circus. I applied for porting into your network on 16 January, a number I held on to for over a decade. Your customer care executive assured it would be done in 3 working days, on 19 I called customer care 10 times +
Replying to @shilpajn
We are apologetic for such an experience. Allow us one opportunity to turn this around, Shilpashree. Just DM your respective Airtel number, we'll get this checked at the earliest. Thanks, Swati teapaw.org/messages/compose?recip…

A conversation @Sujatha1909 and I started 3 years ago is finally published! This article has been the result of the anger & frustration we've felt on the erasure of caste, & more importantly the erasure of the intellectual & activist labor of Dalit, Bahujan, & Adivasi feminists+

Dear Media, Please stop using a heavily pregnant person's body as an image for discussions around #MTPAct and #MaritalRape Images are very potent and louder than your words. @CNNnews18 @MirrorNow @indiatvnews @ndtv @MasalaBai please help me reach the right audience.

Asking individuals to abstain goes against their right to choice and bodily autonomy. Being sexually active and being ready for pregnancy isn't inclusive of each other and shouldn't be treated as such. Thread. #PROtectChoice #PratigyaRights #Abortion #AbortionRights

Replying to @AamAadmiParty
@AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal How & where do we find the procedure for availing schemes after getting the labour card made? There is no information we can find online. I personally called the 1076 helpline right now and have been informed that they do not have information.
My Facebook account was hacked today, I followed all the steps on the Help Center but reached a dead end. This is very distressing and scary. It could happen to anyone. #facebookhacked @facebook_India @secondatticus @Meta @Cyberdost @DCP_CCC_Delhi @Anurag_Office @GoI_MeitY

We, too, have been very particular on at-home end of life care for the very elderly in our family. When someone in their 30s or 40s is acute, as with COVID, it is understandable that families want to try everything. Generally however I see increasing acceptance of palliative care

Unpaid labor remains an echo of inequality, one that is yet to be concretely addressed in terms of normative, policy, or structural changes. Read @Saumya_Kalia's piece here: t.ly/EV_9 (3/3)

In a week of multiple viral posts by startup founders/employers who clearly take their young employees for granted, as the founder of a Gen Z-driven media & impact company (literally called Yuvaa), here is my guide to not being an a**hole to your young employees: #Thread
