Women’s Web has a unique vision: To be the best resource for Indian women looking to empower themselves, by offering useful and interesting resources of direct relevance to their own lives, both online and in the ‘real world’. To augment this vision Women’s Web also hosts events, meets, workshops and chats to empower women in different walks for life.
