Download this episode (56 min)
This episode is very close to Ms. Dilshad's heart as she discusses how our women and girls are made to feel and believe at times that abuse is ok and not only physical abuse but emotional and verbal abuse too. She speaks with Shamita Das Gupta
who is the pioneer in the US to open the first Manavi institution for domestic violence shelter and now following her footsteps there are 24 centers. She is teh author of 5 books and is a law professor in New York University.
Please if you know anybody or are the victim yourself speak up and use help even if you dont have legal status your life and your kids lives should not be subject to any torture.

ZINDAGI  with Dilshad 'where Life matters'

Dilshad is an Educational Consultant and independent producer and host for South Asian media without borders...She has a Masters in Instructional Design and Media from Columbia University. Currently as a social researcher in her doctorate program she produces and hosts two radio shows and one Web TV production for South Asians. She Says... I like to work with people who are quality concious and are not afraid to be challenged. My idea of life is ...that we should not measure it by the breaths we take but by the moments it takes our breath away!!!! We are always young if we think that young means to take care of our bodies and mind and as you know that life brings many opportunities as well as dilemas at various points in our lives ..so just do what your heart tells you sometimes and enjoy the rhythm of happiness that comes with spontaniety...I love to observe people and I can't stand people who tend to be artificial in their dispositions and emotions..As a doctorate fellowship candidate I often enjoy the opportunity to deliver workshops at local and national level and I firmly believe in the spirit of volunteerism!!! 'Zindagi show' is the true expression of my conviction.The show started from Dallas and became the first nationally aired desi show in more than 10 cities across US. It combines cutting edge research and cultural values and helps immigrants around the world to adjust in their new societies and be productive members.
