To glamorize sex workers’ lives in the name of fashion is just something deeply disturbing and ethically and otherwise wrong.
Perhaps one should research more about things before making them a fashion narrative.

Again gone by,
Not memorable
Save that I saw them go,
As past the empty quays

To the women in Iran who were killed for protesting against the regime. The protests started in September 2022 after #MahsaAmini was killed in police custody. We watch in horror and in awe. The women have continued with their protests and it gives hope and that’s a powerful thing

'Missing migrants' by Umesh Kumar Ray exposes Bihar govt's half-hearted measures , to prevent migration, with facts and quotes. Terms like skill-mapping etc sound very impressive but Ray says there is no data to show how many migrants got jobs under this scheme. 1/2

2/2 Lack of data means a flop scheme because the government was not serious about implementing it. As long as the people of Bihar are stuck with heartless politicians, migration to other states will continue in the most adverse conditions. Outlook's cover story will never date.

It was the biggest human tragedy of recent years when people who made valuable contribution in nation building with their hard works felt neglected the most.
