Sakshamaa, an initiative of Centre for Catalyzing Change (C3) and Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS) jointly organized a Webinar on 'COVID, Migration and Women Workers in Eastern India' on July 30th 2021. The first webinar of the series provided insights on the impact of Covid19, gender barriers and creating a more conducive environment for migrant women workforce from eastern India.
The Sakshamaa-XISS Webinar Series intended to create scope for discussing the specific economic challenges faced by poor women in eastern India and also underscore the significance of gender segregated data on the pandemic’s effect on women workers in the region. Sakshamaa and XISS believe that the Webinar-Series will provide an opportunity to learn from available evidence and research and promote a culture of evidence based policy formulation for creating economic opportunities for women in eastern India.
