In this final episode of Season 1, we reflect upon what women political leaders in South Asia have told us about their career journeys with our guests. We delve into bringing role models closer to youth, especially young women aspiring to be in politics.

Our Guests:

She is the Co-Convenor at the Confederation of Indian Industry for Education and Skills. She is an Advisory board member at Centre for Gender And Politics.
