There are, however, a few brave souls who are risking it all to keep us safe. Here’s your chance to meet them

ITC VIVEL SALUTES WOMEN WARRIORS

It's true what they say—not all heroes wear capes. And in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the warriors of today are the ones that wear a mask. However, most women have been conditioned, gender-stereotyped, and told what they can and cannot do. Vivel, a leading brand from ITC, rooted in the core brand philosophy ‘Ab Samjhauta Nahin’ salutes and applauds women who break those barriers of conditioning, and go beyond their call of duty. In our very first Digital-only issue, Vivel and Femina are introducing you to those brave souls who are breaking the norms, risking their lives on a daily basis to make sure that people in need don't go hungry, everyone around you is well protected against the virus, stray animals are fed and taken care of. So join us as we commend those unsung heroes who firmly maintain their uncompromising attitude in the face of adversity and make our lives better every day.
