NWMI member @annavetticad wins big at @FreeMedia_In awards “In a field where journalists often become conduits for publicity and propaganda, Ms Vetticad’s reportage on the entertainment industry breaks new ground and enables a deeper understanding of our society"

NWMI stands in solidarity with survivors and reiterates that recognition and appreciation in the cultural field must not be divorced from questions of justice, equity, and responsibility.

Recognising artistic or literary achievement cannot come at the cost of silencing or sidelining those who have spoken out against abuse.

While there has been public debate and disagreement over the literary merits of this year's awardee, the NWMI’s primary concern is about the message this decision sends out in a country still grappling with systemic failures in addressing sexual harassment.

She highlighted the impact of women village pradhans and noted that women lead differently, making a tangible difference in governance. The session was moderated by @dhanyarajendran, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The NewsMinute. Watch here - youtu.be/lBDgu7dVDyg?si…
