This document discusses the history and status of women in India. It describes how women had a relatively high status in ancient times, but their status declined significantly during medieval and colonial periods. Purdah, child marriage, sati, and dowry became prevalent, and women lost rights and freedoms. In the 19th century, social reform movements fought for women's rights and emancipation. However, gender disparities remain today in areas like literacy, media exposure, employment, political participation, and decision making. Empowering women through education, self-help groups, and changing social attitudes is necessary for development. Some positive examples of women's empowerment in India through organizations like SEWA and cooperative banks are also mentioned

Accelerating AI Integration with Collaborative Learning - Kinga Petrovai - So...SocialHRCamp
Speaker: Kinga Petrovai
You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.
This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content. The Learning Hive enables effective knowledge sharing where employees learn from each other and apply this learning to their work, all while building stronger community bonds. This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.
