Kavita Ramdas: Radical women, embracing tradition

Apr 27, 2010   //   by Eve   //   Blog, Philosophy  //  4 Comments

Kavita Ramdas tells the stories of three inspiration women around the world who embrace the beauty of being a woman, in the fight for equality but are also investing in tradition. A devout Muslim in Afghanistan, a group of harmonizing lesbians in Croatia and a taboo breaker in Liberia. This may be my favorite TED Talk yet. I look forward to a world where man and woman share the same human rights.

“Why is it that women are, on the one hand, viciously oppressed by cultural practices, and yet, at the same time, are the preservers of cultures in most societies?” Kavita Ramdas
