Women

Women, as a vulnerable section, face systemic gender-based discrimination and disadvantages. Measures like reservations, financial inclusion, skill development, and violence prevention laws aim to ensure women’s equality and empowerment.

Specialized bodies like the National Commission for Women monitor issues and advocate for women’s rights. Women’s self-help groups and NGOs also play a vital role in enhancing their social, economic, and political participation.

    The working conditions of women in Mollywood paint a disturbing reality, as revealed by a recent 290-page Hema committee report. Key issues include rampant sexual harassment, lack of basic facilities, and poor pay. It is revealed that the industry is dominated by powerful men who make open demands for sexual favors, forcing women to comply or risk losing opportunities. On sets, there’s absence of toilets and changing rooms for junior artists, with inadequate sanitary facilities during menstruation. Working conditions are not okay, with insufficient food and water, low pay, and lack of accommodation and transport. These conditions lead to physical discomfort, illness, and in some cases, hospitalization. Many women fear job loss if they complain. The report, based on interviews with industry professionals and supported by video and message evidence, exposes deep-rooted issues in Mollywood. The Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) has validated these findings, while some directors acknowledge the need for change. Recommendations include making the industry safer for women and implementing measures to protect aspiring artists. This report highlights the urgent need for reform to ensure a safe and equitable work environment for women in the Malayalam film industry, addressing the systemic problems that have long affected Mollywood.

    A woman’s social life is subject to the judgements of the people around her. There is not only societal pressure to marry at a particular age, but also familial pressure to have babies by a certain age. There are maternal psychological and biological factors that approve for early pregnancy, however, the societal pressure from relatives, family members and society on a woman definitely affect her. It is said that higher the age, higher the risk for pregnancy, but very few families are open to discussing the real reasons and actually fall in the trap of  futile expectations of the society. Women are pressurized in a number of ways. In-laws manipulate them to fulfill their wishes as early as possible, they have to manage their career and maternal journey at the same time, they may have bodily complications or hormonal issues that delay their pregnancies, however they have to listen to the nuisance thrown at them. These are a few instances of how a woman is subjected to stress and pressure. No matter what, pregnancy is considered to be an accomplishment in this society and whatever a woman does, she has to face one or other judgement that may or may not be scientific but definitely questioning the rationale of the society we live in.

    Modern art perspective emphasizes experimentation, diversity and subjective experience rejecting traditional notions of beauty and representation. It encompasses various styles including abstraction, surrealism and pop art focusing on emotional expression, social critique and intellectual inquiry.

    From a postmodernist perspective, modern art encompasses elements of gender and feminism through –

    1. Challenges traditional representation by subverting patriarchal norms, depicting diverse feminine experiences and questioning gender binaries and stereotypes visually.
    2. Subverts binary categories by exploring non binary identities, queer aesthetics and fluid expressions disrupting traditional masculine/feminine dichotomies and norms.
    3. Celebrates diversity and multiplicity by portraying varied female experiences, intersectional identities and multicultural perspectives shattering singular patriarchal narratives.
    4. Fragments narratives disrupting linear patriarchal storytelling and amplifying marginalized voices with multiple truths and feminine experiences through non linear surreal forms.
    5. Addresses body politics through feminist perspectives exploring themes of autonomy, objectification, agency and embodiment challenging societal norms and expectations.
    6. Embodies intersectionality, intertwining gender with race, class, sexuality, ability and ethnicity highlighting complex overlapping oppressions and experiences.
    7. Employs irony, parody and pastiche to subvert patriarchal norms, mocking stereotypes and recontextualizing feminine representations challenging power structures.
    8.  Self representation and autobiography empower women’s voices sharing personal narratives, experiences and identities reclaiming agency and challenging patriarchal histories.

     

     

    Postmodernist modern art breaks gender rules by blending reality and fantasy. It uses irony, self portraits and personal stories to challenge stereotypes, empower women’s voices and promote equality and inclusivity.
