Our Cover Story features South Asian female leaders who are paving the path for the next generation of women to create their own remarkable stories. In 2020, DARPAN Magazine started a project, that has now become a tradition. Witnessing the immense contributions of South Asian women in various fields, DARPAN celebrated International Women’s Day that year by featuring inspiring stories of women from BC’s South Asian community. In 2021 again, the March/April cover story saluted the women in our community for their relentless courage and unyielding voice. This year, we highlight seven women who are using their platform to (1) break barriers within the industry they work in; (2) to give voice to women facing discrimination; (3) and to mentor and uplift young women and girls. These women of steel have shattered the glass ceiling, and are making sure the next generation of women are well-equipped with the tools as well as the power to take charge of their own lives.
