Event Details : Conversation:  ‘Aapbiti: Women’s Own Stories’, a monthly series curated by Maimoona Mollah, exploring the lives, stories, labour and struggles of women. In the opening session this month, Maimoona will be in conversation with Sita Devi, a piece rate worker who was married as a minor to an older, already married man. Her eldest daughter, son-in-law and their twins are diagnosed with AIDS. Her husband died of cancer, TB and heart disease. Today, a widow at age 40, Sita Devi’s life is a story of unending struggle for economic and social independence, and a life of dignity for herself and her family.
