A recent study, “Beyond the Norm: Scope of Non-traditional Livelihood Skilling for Women in Achieving Women’s Economic Empowerment”, aims to understand the importance of skilling women in what is considered ‘nontraditional’ work and how that can lead to women’s economic empowerment. While there is no fixed definition of what work qualifies as ‘non-traditional’, the study, produced by the Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST), suggests there are several ways through which it can be approached.

As part of the study, the short film ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ was created to highlight the experience of two organisations within the NTL network. The film was commissioned by the team as a part of the research dissemination plan, to help the key findings of the report reach a wider audience.
