On August 28, 2025, independent researcher Ms. Carolina Rota from the University of Oxford spent a day engaging deeply with domestic workers and women from the community. Her visit aimed to understand women’s lived experiences, challenges, and resilience within their social and economic environments.
Ms. Rota conducted several one-on-one interviews and informal group discussions, encouraging participants to share their personal stories and perspectives. Her ability to communicate fluently in Hindi helped bridge barriers, allowing genuine and heartfelt exchanges that reflected the strength and solidarity of the women she met.
The interaction provided valuable insights into the intersection of gender, livelihood, and empowerment in community settings. It also highlighted the importance of cross-cultural learning and academic collaboration in amplifying the voices of grassroots women.
Project STOP deeply values such meaningful engagements that connect global research with local realities, fostering understanding, respect, and empowerment through dialogue and shared learning.
