As we celebrate our seventh anniversary this year, we thought it opportune that we use our equity and clout to generate tangible change in an area that affects women of all generations, across all social spheres. As influencers across various fields pledge their support to the cause of women¡¯s empowerment by lending their skills and resources, Vogue India reinforces the role it¡¯s been playing so far¡ªthat of a powerful voice and a catalyst of change."
Priya Tanna, Editor, Vogue India said, ¡°We are charged and inspired by the initiative and the incredible response it has already garnered. The idea was to engage with Vogue India¡¯s circle of influencers and thought leaders to become our pledge-makers, our agents of change. We wanted to mobilise them to draw attention to the issues concerning women¡¯s empowerment. As we all know, women¡¯s empowerment is as relevant in urban India as it is in rural India. It encompasses not just the physical, but also the financial, emotional and psychological aspects. In our journey so far, we have secured 100+ pledges. We hope this is only the beginning. The message is simple- It starts with you!¡±
