Announcement
followed discussion of the prevalent issues affecting women of our country
talking about domestic & sexual abuse
Pink Platform, an
online community…the website designed to gather women from different walks of
life onto a single forum where they can express themselves freely, discuss
issues that matter and share their experiences, in turn helping enrich the
lives of other women.
Kavita spearheaded
the discussion and Bhagyashree, Sheeba, Amy Billimoria and Nazneen (Actor Ranjeet's
wife) actively participated.
Explaining the
mantra of Pink Platform, founder Kavita Raha mentions, “Our mantra is 'Let
start small, but start'... We are forming a 'circle of trust', so for those who
are interested in contributing and starting small giving projects can register
at the Pink Platform online portal. The Pink Platform network
covers a vast array of topics that would be relevant for women all over the
world, in different age groups, and includes subjects such as parenting,
healthcare, and domestic issues to beauty, entertainment, personal finance,
food and travel, to name just a few.”
Talking about how
Pink Platform came into being, Kavita Raha explains, “Women are
constantly balancing their time and priorities between home, children, spouse/
partner, and the workplace with each demanding their share of importance and
attention. To add to it all, this constant act of juggling responsibilities is
seen as being merely supportive in nature and often doesn't receive adequate
recognition. Between all of this, they get very little time or opportunity to
cater to their own needs or discuss their problems and issues. And this is
where pink Platform steps in.
Kavita Raha is
raising funds via various auctions including a saree designed by Amy
Billimoria A
contemporary sari influenced by the various aspects of a
modern woman... The net symbolizes the transparency of a woman's
heart... The embroidery is ornate and subtle resembling a jigsaw puzzle
and the various
roles played by a woman... The colors are a beautiful blend of gold and
rose emphasizing the strong self and the little girl that always lives
in a woman's
heart!
Lot of other
support has been extended which is fruitful for the campaign.
