Women News is a small non-profit endeavor personally funded by the Founding Editor, Sanjukta Basu. We invite articles/blogs submissions on but not limited to the topics listed in the next column, from journalists, feminist writers, and freelance contributors.
It is an editorial policy at Women and Gender News that the category of ‘women’ is inclusive of caste and religious intersectionality for the purpose of reportage.
If you have a flair of writing and interested in women’s rights, please get in touch. You can directly write to editor@womennews.in or you may fill in the form below and let us know what you would like to discuss or know about and we would get back to you. If you have an article or blog piece ready and want it to be published you may send the pitch to submissions@womennews.in.
