From revitalizing and expanding her family's poultry business, to expanding into fisheries and helping women access formal loans, Anju built more than just her businesses.

Vandana set up a small oil mill with the help of a govt scheme. Today, she runs her own brand selling pure mustard oil, and her product is already finding buyers in nearby districts. What makes this story special is that it’s not just about one person becoming financially independent. Her work has also created employment opportunities for people around her. Stories like this often go unnoticed, but they show how ordinary people, with the right support and determination, can build something meaningful. Many women like Vandana are quietly becoming economically independent and helping their families and communities move forward. #NariSammanUPKaAbhiman

This is the story of how one woman helped thousands of women become lakhpatis. 24 years ago, Nileema Chaturvedi - fondly known as Didi - started a modest self-help group in Chhattisgarh called Koriya Mahila Gruh Udyog with just ₹15,000. What began as a small knitting centre has grown into a powerful network of over 20,000 women entrepreneurs, running businesses worth crores across villages. Once confined to their homes, these women are now business owners, decision-makers, and changemakers in their own right. Nileema’s impact goes far beyond economics. Her work has been recognised at the highest levels- honoured by former President Pranab Mukherjee and recipient of multiple national awards. Her journey is living proof that when women lead, entire communities thrive. The Better India

There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women. While Risa continues to fight for the good and what is right, the other women senators just looked from afar.

In her new book, Women in Power: Fighting for Democracy in an Age of Authoritarianism, CFR expert Linda Robinson highlights women leaders on the front lines of the battle between democracy and authoritarianism. One of these women is Maia Sandu, the president of Moldova, who has successfully fought against Russian hybrid warfare while rooting out corruption in her own government. "Other countries can take a lesson from this small country and how it has strengthened domestic resilience, reaching out across ethnic, religious, and social divides to build a stronger country," says Robinson.
