ALT Congratulations to Arija Jana for winning a $100 stipend for her research project as part of I-CREATE YOUTH's 2022 Fellowship Program. Her project, Representation of Women in Literature: Problems and Diversions, dives into the topic of gender inequality based on Jana's personal and educational experiences. She articulates that "this research is a manifestation of my comparative investigation, and I wish to expand further on this topic in the future." “I remember that when I was very young, I was gifted dolls and kitchen sets to play with, most of them on a pink theme. Even the walls of my room were pink. On the other hand, my brother always had toy cars, helicopters and robots to play with. Even though I liked these gifts, I didn't like the color pink. Both my brother and I preferred blue. I sometimes wondered why I couldn't play with cars and why my brother was not given kitchen sets. I once even thought that there was something wrong with me: girls are supposed to like pink, right?
