Manchester:(International Disk) According to ug news Report, These are no ordinary stories but stories which could change your life.”The New Woman’ – A project by Ritu Sharma, Founder of Kaushalya UK, features 33 women spread across five continents, who have undergone transformation through adversity.There are stories about fight with mental health issues, domestic abuse, terminal illness, drug abuse and many more.Ritu’s own story is extraordinary; she’s an ambassador for the empowerment of women, an entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of Kaushalya UK, a registered, not for profit, community organisation working to empower and uplift women.She originally is from Amritsar, Punjab.
The project is an initiative of Ritu’s organisation Kaushalya UK, and the anthology showcases “women who have been broken by the challenges they have faced but have emerged whole and
even more beautiful and strong.”Giving details, Ritu says, “This book is one of its kind as is based on the concept of Kintsugi, where the Japanese repair broken pottery with powder gold lacquer to highlight imperfections.”
Kaushalya UK’s mission is to highlight and celebrate the impact that women have made on the people and the world around them. Ritu has collected and collated stories from women around the world for this book. “I believe that many women go through similar challenges and still feel that they are the only ones. In our cognitive isolation, we tend to treat these experiences as unique and novel, and that is how gender-based discrimination becomes normalised in our societies. By sharing these stories, we are
not only exposing what is done to women on a regular basis, but also creating an awareness that we do not have to keep repeating the narrative. Change is possible! And so is happiness.”
The book is an honest and true reflection of challenges faced by many women. The book also aims to remove any shame, guilt or embarrassment attached to any women related issues in this world.Ritu hopes for two things from the book. Firstly, she wants to establish that women are empowered
naturally.Secondly, even after having disempowering experiences, women can get back up and
achieve their full potential.Kaushalya UK is working with UK-based publishers and the book is available on Amazon in hardback
and as e-book. The book will also be available on various online outlets, including the organisation’s
website www.kaushalyauk.com (where you can buy signed copies).Author spotlights courageous women’s diverse stories that must be shared
Ritu Sharma, Founder of Kaushalya UK, has collaborated with 33 co-
authors from different cultures, to create a new breed of women, united
through their courageous stories of resilience, transformation and hope.
Originally from Amritsar in Punjab, and now living in Birmingham, Ritu
left a highly respected teaching career and found herself in the UK. With
a 6-month-old baby no friends or roots she demonstrated great courage
to carve out a new life.
Through her not-for-profit organisation, Kaushalya UK, Ritu is driven to empower, uplift women and
enable them to rediscover their own power and true worth and conceived the idea of an anthology
as a way to achieve this goal.
The New Woman shares ‘no holds barred’ stories from
women from India, Australia, Britain, Africa and USA.
The cultural insights highlight the plight of many women
who live in a patriarchal society that perceives women
as second-class citizens. In common, these women have
all been broken and Ritu uses the concept of the
Japanese Kintsugi Bowls to express that their learning is
like the golden thread that puts it back together even
more beautiful and valuable.
The collaborators were specially chosen to share their
experiences of surviving trauma and other stressful
situations life has thrown at all of us. Each contributor raises their voice and shares their real-life
inspirational story, showing their bouncebackability and resilience.
The New Woman was launched and celebrated online on 24thJuly 2021. It is available world-wide on
Amazon as a hard copy and e-book. The book hit the Amazon best seller on 14th September 2021.
Ritu says, “Stories are essential building blocks of empathy and human connection. Sharing our
stories become of utmost importance if and when these reflect lived experiences and are capable of
both bringing healing and changing lives.
