#Repost @rohitjain217 with @get_repost ・・・’Let’s bridge the gender gap’. On Jamna Lal’s insistence, finally with a lot of resistance and shyness, Dhanni and her husband Hariram were convinced to have their photo taken keeping a hand around each other. It was a fun moment for their friends and me. Later, we had tea and i bid them goodbye. I hope to see them again soon. #love #relationship #genderequality #spaceforallgender #society #ruralindia #instagood #bestoftheday #tradition #yourshotphotographer #reportagespotlight #womenempowerment #womensday #womenhistorymonth #feminisminindia #p3top #creativeimagemagazine #_womenofsubstance #spicollective #whp #husbandandwife https://www.instagram.com/rohitjain217/p/Buvoiwons4N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ggrd1x4vsyso

‘From archive’ - Part of a photo story - ‘India’s young tribal girls finding freedom through sports’ - Volleyball players Lila (R) and Kusum play in farm field in their village, Gogunda block, Udaipur, India. Full story link in bio. Sports for Empowerment - In the hills of Aravali, on every evening, volleyball rises while the sun sets; when girls from Bhil tribes punch the volleyball hard in air across the net. Abandoned lands in a corner of villages of Gogunda block of Udaipur district, India, become alive with girls whizzing around with volleyball, practicing ‘rallying and passing’ and learning ‘spiking and blocking’. The journey is a tough and long one for these Bhil girls. Belonging to a tribe and having a poverty-ridden background has resulted in them not seeing life beyond the hills around their villages. However, they not only have to compete for survival in the market system of a modernizing society, but also fight to claim space in a society dominated by upper castes. Because of the girls’ situation, a non-profit organization called @vikalpsansthan has taken the initiative to train the tribal girls to play volleyball and empower them to strive for a bright future. #archive #sport #volleyball#volleyballgirls #reportagespotlight#yourshotphotographer #magnumphotos#bbcnews #genderequality #indiapictures#indiaphotoproject #_soi #mountainstories#p3top #documentaryphotography#womenempowerment #savethechildren#creativeimagemagazine #myfeatureshoot#nikonasia #mytravel #friendsinperson#bestoftheday #photooftheday#_womenofsubstance #zonestreet#everydayeverywhere #instagram #_ipc #creativeimagemagazine #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/rohitjain217/p/Bu6A2oBnoYy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3rcs0mllcb2x

Part of Women Reproduction and Gynaecology Health story - Clothes used to clean menstrual blood kept to dry for reuse, in washroom at a home, in Indore, India. Twenty one year old Nirmala said “Women’s menstrual cloth are never put out in the open to dry. These rags have to be dried away from the gaze of men as otherwise it is sinful. We also feel shame if someone else were to see these rags. The menstrual blood is considered to be dirty and it is also used for sorcery by others. That is why we dry our menstrual cloth secretly inside the bathroom or in the animal shed”. Subhadra Khaperde who organises reproductive health camps in slums in Indore said “Most women suffer from infections of the vagina such as white discharge (leucorrhea), inflammation of the vagina, erosion of the cervix and cysts on it and excessive bleeding during menstruation and suffer for long from pain and complications. They don’t get proper treatment for this either in the government hospitals or from private medical practitioners because they are ashamed to speak about these problems. Our organisation (Mahila Jagat Lihaz Samiti - MAJLIS) gets them examined by qualified doctors and gives them medicines. Often the husbands of the women are also infected and so they too have to be treated even though they are reluctant to go to doctors. Full story link in bio. NFHS IV says that only 29.1 % of the respondent women in Madhya Pradesh had cervical examination. The clinical examination of women done by doctors in the MAJLIS camps revealed that a shockingly high 67.1 % suffered from cervical problems and 49.1 % from vaginal infections. They were all satisfactory treated very easily through a fortnight of medication. #reproductionhealth #gynaecology #menstrualcycle #menstrualhygiene #vaginahealth #periodproblems #health #sterilisation #gettyreportage #gettyimages #unwomen #unicef #yourshotphotographer #bestoftheday #thephotosociety #instagram #p3top #womenhealth #womenfitness #womenshistorymonth #womensday #feminisminindia #_womenofsubstance #spicollective #creativeimagemagazine #hewonttease #instaindia #instadaily #everydayeverywhere #everydayindia https://www.instagram.com/rohitjain217/p/BuqgigsHUAn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vbg6ewsjyql2
