Here's your weekly food for thought through a Fun Fact or Quiz.

Did you know that India continues to face a grave issue of gendered violence within marital homes, particularly through ‘dowry deaths’ and ‘cruelty by husband or in-laws’? In such cases, women are often harassed by their husbands or in-laws for monetary gain. Alarmingly, thousands of such deaths have already been reported this year alone, highlighting the urgent need for intervention. It is crucial to raise awareness around this and empower women with financial independence and political agency. This will enable them to make their own choices and break free from cycles of abuse and oppression. Only through collective action and education can lasting change be achieved.

Curious Cat:
What unique challenges do neurodivergent folx face during festive season and how can they be supported?

Answer:
The Indian festive season often kicks off with the vibrant Ganapati festival, celebrated with loud music, bright lights, and large gatherings. While joyous for many, these sensory-rich environments can be overwhelming for neurodivergent individuals. They may experience heightened sensitivity to noise, crowds, and changes in routine. This can lead to sensory overwhelm and even cognitive and emotional overload, causing distress and anxiety.

Support can include creating quiet spaces away from the crowd, understanding sensory needs, allowing flexible participation in celebrations, communicating plans in advance to prepare them mentally, and practicing patience and understanding. Small accommodations can make a big difference in ensuring everyone enjoys the festivities comfortably and inclusively.
