Women's Development Cell, Kamala Nehru College

The Women’s Development Cell is a forum for discussing issues of gender, patriarchy, and sexuality with and amongst the students. The primary purpose is to introduce them to the basic concepts of gender and link them to the experiences of their daily lives, enabling the understanding of patriarchy at work around us, and thereby making it possible to develop strategies for challenging entrenched structures of domination. The WDC seeks to further the larger objective of creating a gender-just society by sensitizing our students, equipping them to uncover the often hidden and implicit biases that are built into the world we inhabit. We further seek the development of the cell members through internal workshops, activities, and projects held.
