Etre une femme en Inde - Being a Woman in India

For the occasion of the International Women's Day 100 year centenary celebration, here is a beautiful Indian Woman met in Mamallapuram (South East India). One century since the very first IWD, still women continue to face inequity on many fronts.

There would be so much to say about women in India. Indiaphragme is a place where to SEE with your own eyes, through the prism which is mine... therefore I believe you could see some aspects of woman's life here in India.
