Women in Governance is Asia Society India Center’s conversation series featuring women in South Asia talking about their personal, professional, and political pathways and experiences. How does a gendered experience of the world change the way you live in it? What kind of courage does it take to live in a world of immediate, constant hostility and what does it take to make a new world, piece by piece? These one-on-one conversations aim to reflect on how to build stronger, more resilient, and more inclusive societies for women in South Asia.
