ISST concludes its research training workshop with @WaterAidIndia, fostering shared learning on WASH and women’s livelihoods. We look forward to advancing inclusive, evidence-based approaches.

On #InternationalWomensDay, we reflect on the importance of making women’s labour, livelihoods, and care visible.
For over 4 decades, ISST has worked to centre women’s realities in research, policy, and public dialogue—from informal work to the care economy.
Sustaining independent feminist research requires communities of support. If our work resonates with you, consider being part of the journey that keeps women’s voices at the centre.

A proud moment for ISST!
We’re delighted to join the Global Alliance for Care — the first global multi-stakeholder platform advancing care as a need, work, and a right.
Our colleague @sreerupa_sree spoke at the 7th Delhi Digital Conclave, organised by @IIITDelhi on gender in intimate digital spaces, highlighting how digitalisation reshapes care, labour, and power.
As the India AI Impact Summit 2026 concludes, we revisit Pre-Summit insights: co-design AI with women, strengthen gender data, and build safeguards to detect bias, ensure accountability, and prevent harm.
Day 2 of the India AI Impact Summit 2026: Pre-event discussions highlight a clear priority — move from intent to action.
As #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 begins, pre-event consultations by Institute of Social Studies Trust and V. V. Giri National Labour Institute highlighted a key message: AI is not neutral.
Building ethical, gender-transformative, and accountable AI requires embedding equity, strengthening evaluation, and centring marginalised voices in design and governance. #ResponsibleAI #InclusiveAI
Dr. Jahnvi Andharia (Director, ISST) reminded us that a gender-just future of work needs AI that is accountable, equitable, and rooted in feminist research. As India moves toward #ViksitBharat2047, these choices will shape whether AI deepens or dismantles inequality.
As India moves towards #ViksitBharat2047, who designs AI—and who gets left behind? Yesterday’s dialogue unpacked why AI isn’t neutral, how biases get embedded, and why gender-transformative AI needs intentional co-design, equity, and accountability at its core.
