The speaker discusses their experience with the TCR in their personal and professional guidelines. They mention a shortage of models and mentors who can relate to their background. They emphasize the importance of equal opportunities and the need to address discrimination in white-collar jobs. The conversation then shifts to discussing the intersection of religion and gender equality. The speaker talks about navigating religious and feminist values and the focus on identity in their movement. They also acknowledge parallels between the struggles faced by women and other underrepresented groups. The conversation briefly touches on the organization Redby and how they help Muslim women achieve their potential by providing skills and job opportunities. The challenges faced when launching the network are also mentioned, including pushback to focus solely on Muslim women. So, I did the TCR in my personal guidelines. In my professional guidelines, I was the only person that was in the room. And I did the TCR in a shortage of models and mentors who can relate to my background. In terms of any of these discrimination in white-collar jobs, there are many, many, many. And that's not the point, right? The point is not that somebody changed you, or maybe took a hand off, or evolved from that, at least. It's more about how many opportunities are being provided, or what's being done to your application when you are not in the room. We can try and research, make sure that as many women get 50% of the job offers as any women get in India. It's really important. I didn't know what the stats were. It was like, when was it, like, so late? When did she exactly? 2019. Oh, damn. Okay. Yeah. Priyam, would you like to take over? Yeah, yeah, for sure. So, a lot of times, people get that faith, like, religious faith, and then there are contradictory concepts. Because, like, our religion, again, obviously contradictory with, like, modern times. How do you advocate for provoking gender equality and maybe the basis for that can be restriction on a basis? That's a very good question. The way we look at it is from our identity to represent others. And the way in which we will navigate the feminine values, the religious and biblical is very religious. And I think this is why we chose to do this because whatever concepts arise between these sometimes will work or won't work as individuals. For the next five years, however, given that we are focusing on identity, like, as an individual for the movement, we want to make sure that we reach that point of determinism. What we've been doing is celebrating that diversity is primitive. So, for example, we recognize that the practices that we have as part of our program can be – can hold really real on feminism or can have different opinions about feminism. Similarly, in terms of the plurality that we identify ourselves as, can be anything from identifying as being culturally mixed to being extremely developed within it. So, yeah, I think the focus being on identity is really outside. I think that the focus on identity as the benchmark or as the answer means that those identities that we are talking about are not feminist at all. Excellent. And, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Do you see any parallel between the struggles that women want to face and those faced by other underrepresented groups? Absolutely. In fact, I remember I was on there. It was coinciding with a similar process in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in New York and then I learned about BDSL. And I think it was also an insight from the civil rights movement history and then it was a representation of women for our refugee treatment and that was the content of the Black community in Indiana. And I think from the first set of observations in New York to the over-representation in children, to their under-education, to the remember that optimism is there, it's a completely different story of what women feel in India even when we talk a lot about marginalized women. I'm not sure. And, yeah, I can do the interview with the members. Anyone on our end? What would you like to say more? Yeah, sure. So talking about your organization, what was the idea behind starting Redby? I think we kind of covered this. Do you have a question for the next question? We'll come back. Okay, cool. So how does Redby help Muslim women achieve their potential? One second. I'm just going to show some of the slides I can show you. We work with Muslim women in the community. One is the protection of African-Americans in the community. So we help them get the skills that they need to stand out in the job pool as well as help them apply for jobs that they want. The second part is we work with companies to talk about the issues of inclusion in the community as well as needs and sensitize them to the challenges that Muslims face in India in the workforce. Right. Do you also work with, like, someone to get them to get a college in the borderless country? We don't focus on all of that, but the head of the network does everything that that line of network for all of us, the workers. But that focus is mostly on women in India. I'm sorry, I don't think I heard your question, because I'm trying to think of it. Did you say that you help women and, like, other women, Muslim women in India get jobs? We do two things with them. We professionally adopt their business, so we have workshops and fellowships. And we connect them to jobs, for example, if there is a job that they, a company that they're interested in. We have built a network of connections to focus on that company and then they can get a job in the application process. Okay. Nice. Anything else? No. Really? Yeah. Okay. So what challenges do you encounter when you launch a network? Well, there's a couple. I think it's a couple. First of all, it's a technical issue to the network. But on top of that, there's also a big push from very many teachers to not just focus on Muslim women. A lot of teachers back then, and even today, they continue to tell us to diversify. But given that,
