The Mobius Foundation launched a campaign and a webinar, “Equal Samman”, in line with the 
UN theme - ‘Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow’. The campaign sought to 
understand the motto of #BreakTheBias and its role in the workplace and daily life.
• The hour-long webinar was conducted virtually on March 8th, 2022, from 3:00-4:30 PM. It 
featured a panel of trailblazers who overcame obstacles imposed by society to become who they 
are today. 
• Dr. Ram Boojh, CEO, Mobius Foundation, welcomed all the guests and dignitaries and paid 
tribute to women warriors who are on the frontline of sustainability of the plant he further said 
“Our world would mean nothing without women. Their courage that exists in perfect harmony 
with amazing tenderness saves our world every day.”
Recognising the contributions of women and girls globally, the webinar initiated an informed and 
engaging debate about the dynamics of women’s empowerment and its impact on our nation's 
development for a sustainable tomorrow. To emphasise the importance of breaking down biases 
against women and girls, the foundation invited internationally acclaimed women speakers to 
highlight the importance of challenging societal stereotypes. Dr Neelima Jerath, Director General, 
Pushpa Gujral Science City; Dr Shweta Khare Naik, Executive Director, Jane Goodall Institute India; 
Dr Uma Tuli, Founder, Amar Jyoti Charitable Trust; and Ms Nalini and Ms Kamalini, SNA Awardee, 
and Padmashree, Ms. Indira Burman, Trustee Mobius Foundation, Chairperson SUNDESH and Ms. 
Poonam Minhas, Principal Gyan Anant Vidyalaya graced the occasion. 
Dr. Uma Tuli stated, “Biases have been broken many times. Look at the 'Iron Ladies' that have made 
their own place in society. What we need to see is men respecting women but also recognising 
women with disabilities who have been an inspiration to many like Sudha Chandran, Prachi, Bhakti, 
Arunima Sinha, and a lot more. We have to give equal opportunity and equal participation to people 
with special abilities, that's when it will be #EqualSamman.”
Dr. Shweta Khare deliberated, “We as women should not limit ourselves. We have various roles to 
play, we have to find our own place, our own ways to be in this society.” 
Dr Neelima Jerath expressed, 'Look at the clear skies beyond the glass ceiling - be strong - be soft - 
be silent, and let success make the noise one day'
Ms Nalini and Ms Kamalini said, 
“म ममममम मम मममममम मममम मम मम ममममम मम मम मम ममममम मममम मममम मम ममम मममम मममम म मममम 
मममम म ममम म ममम मममम मममम मम मम , मममम म म, मममम मम , ममममम मम मममम ममम मम ममममम मम” 
Ms. Indira Burman, Trustee Mobius Foundation, Chairperson SUNDESH, thanked the guests and 
panellists and said “The road to gender equality remains long and ever-shifting—particularly when it 
comes to the nuanced ways gender intersects with race, class, and sexuality. But today's influential 
female voices give us hope that we’re headed in the right direction.”
The month-long digital campaign #EqualSamman - aims to address conscious and unconscious 
biases that prevail in society and prevent women and girls from living their lives to the fullest.
Biases have crept across different lines in women's lives, whether in public or private 
sphere. Women are expected to behave in certain ways, which means they must live up to 
the standards set by society. Every woman should embrace their own individuality and 
identity and use it to make a difference to transform the world around them and break 
the bias. Behaving counter-stereotypically and rebelling against these biases is viewed 
negatively by society, and as a result, people perceive a less likeable image of women. 
Mobius Foundation aims to demonstrate the strength and ambition of women to elevate 
a climate of change in society as part of its challenge to established norms. 
Individually, we're all responsible for our thoughts and actions - all day, every day. We can 
break the bias in our communities. We can break the bias in our workplaces. We can 
break the bias in our schools, colleges, and universities.
SO, LET US ALL PLEDGE TOGETHER, WE CAN ALL BREAK THE BIAS - ON 
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY (IWD) AND BEYOND.
