IBSA in association with Swayam organised a fabulous evening celebrating Women through Poetry. A Poetry Therapy Workshop was led IBSA member Beth Caldwell, a Transformational Coach in celebration of International Women’s Day at Swayam.
Swayam is an NGO that for 3 decades has been working closely with survivors of domestic violence. On this occasion, IBSA showed its support by donating a cheque to Amrita Dagupta, Director of Swayam.

The workshop focussed on women-centric poems by Lucille Clifton and Audre Lorde where the poetry was used as a medium to encourage participants to express themselves in a safe space and generate dialogue on marginalisation, patriarchy and women leadership.
It was a highly interactive, multi generational session where IBSA members were joined by some post graduate students from Loreto College and Shri Shikshayatan. It was refreshing to exchange thoughts with the younger generation on breaking the mould and moving forward as a society.
