Event Details : Conversation:  ‘Aapbiti: Women’s Own Stories’, a monthly series curated by Maimoona Mollah, exploring the lives, stories, labour and struggles of women. This time, Maimoona will speak with Guddi. Born in Karnal, Guddi is the first of five siblings. When her mother was kicked out of the house by her in-laws, the family moved to her Nani's house in Faridabad. Guddi had to help her mother in household work and in rearing the buffaloes. After her marriage at the age of 14, Guddi came to Gaushala in Manekpura. Her husband being a casual labourer, they did not have enough to manage the household. Hence Guddi had to take up the home-based work of sticking bindis. Living in a shanty, sitting in poor light she did this for 20 years. She is no longer able to stick bindis due to poor eyesight. But her involvement with the women's movement continues . . .
