But we can continue only with your support.
The latest study by LedBy Foundation has shed light on the intrinsic biases against Muslim women in terms of employment opportunities. It notes that for every two callbacks a Hindu applicant gets from companies that are hiring, a Muslim with an equivalent resume gets just one.
The bias against Muslim women in urban spaces and corporate India is palpable. This systemic denial of employment opportunities to them is widespread and affects various industries.
In this short video, Sumedha Pal of The Wire speaks to those who authored the study to understand how the study was carried out and its various findings in-depth.
