Shivani Wazir Pasrich, Member, EC ELSA (CEO, SWP Productions) moderated the talk.

Dr Meenakshi Gopinath, mentor ELSA and former Principal LSR set the tone for the deliberations with her inspiring words, and Dr Kiran Walia, member INC urged ELSAs to implement more on field activities for the underprivileged.

Not only did the panelists share their experiences from the world of politics, journalism to corporate and day to day lives, but also identified specific challenges where stereotypes exist for both men and women.

Tackling them is not easy but doable- change in attitude is a must! There is also a lot that women can do to "lean in" and support their fellow women co-workers.

Our male panelists also shared useful perspectives and contributed greatly by suggesting ways in which the sterotyping issues can be handled better at work places.
