A poster highlighting the role of women election workers in India, who are often unacknowledged, under appreciated. Poster shows a photo of a group of women sitting on the floor of a portico/verandah, with notebooks and registers spread out between them. A woman is also seated on a plastic chair. Poster text reads #Gender@Polls, Election Workers Labour for Democracy but Never Get the Spotlight. The #NWMI logo is at bottom.

the cost of sexism | book reviews on idealistatheart.com 'the cost of sexism' by linda scott is a deeply nuanced analysis of the world's economy through a gender lens and the different set of rules that apply.

i went into 'the cost of sexism' by linda scott expecting a feminist finance book. what i got was a deeply researched, real-world analysis of the global economy through a gender lens. insightful, shocking, infuriating and essential reading.
