On March 8, marking International Women’s Day, Asar and Poovulagin Nanbargal hosted a talk on the economic impact of climate change on women by noted economist Ms. Jayati Ghosh. She emphasized the need for governments to recognize how climate change disproportionately affects women.

National award-winning director Vetri Maaran inaugurated a powerful photo exhibition curated by Thiyagu and Vignesh, documenting the struggles of women in Ennore, where environmental hazards like oil spills and ammonia leaks have impacted livelihoods.

The event, introduced by Priya and coordinated by Kavitha Muralidharan and Jenny, drew over 300 participants, including students from 17 colleges, and received wide media coverage from outlets such as The Hindu, New Indian Express, Nakheeran, and IBC Tamil.
