Recent social media posts about toxic work culture in mostly male-driven #newsrooms are worrisome. #NWMI believes abuse, harassment & misogyny have no place in the newsroom. Good #journalism can only happen when the workplace is safe for everyone in it. #WorkplaceSafety #Media #WomenInJournalism

A colorful watercolor and ink drawing depicts three women from different cultural backgrounds carrying out labor-intensive tasks against a plain white background. At the top center, bold handwritten text reads, "CLIMATE CHANGE HITS HER HARDEST," with the word "HER" highlighted in vibrant pink.

>> On the left: A Black woman in profile walks to the right, balancing a brown clay pot on her head over a brightly patterned yellow and red headwrap. She carries a sleeping baby on her back in a red sling and wears a yellow top with a vividly multi-colored, patterned skirt.
>> In the center:  A woman wearing a traditional conical Asian hat walks facing right. She carries a bamboo shoulder pole (carrying pole) with two empty woven baskets suspended from either end. She wears a brown jacket over a blue top and yellow trousers.
>> On the right: A South Asian woman walks toward the right, balancing a brown clay pot on her head with one hand while cradling another clay pot in her arm. She is dressed in a traditional pink sari with a purple blouse.

The artist's signature, #AnupamaBijur 2026, is written in small black text between the central and rightmost figures.

📍 Thiruvananthapuram | 🗓️ February 6 Kerala is often cited as a global model for community-led palliative care. How did the state build such a humane, people-centred care ecosystem – and what lessons does it offer for the rest of India?
Illustrated poster titled “Palliative care in Kerala: Compassion as policy.” A stylized scene shows an elderly person lying on a cot, surrounded by family members and caregivers offering comfort, with a traditional Kathakali figure seated nearby, symbolizing cultural care and compassion. The color palette is warm yellows, greens, and blues with patterned backgrounds. Along the bottom are event details and logos, including “Members only,” the Network of Women in Media, India (NWMI), and text announcing the 20th National Meet, 6–8 February 2026, Thiruvananthapuram, with festive drum illustrations.

On the left, a woman in a bright pink and blue sari with long hair and floral adornments faces left. On the right, a stylized grayscale illustration of a woman faces right, with yellow flowers in her hair. A yellow border frames the image.
