008. The Trauma of Growing up as Female in India & China - Abhipsha Mohanty

Comedians chatting about mental health (Moni Zhang)

The world is not a fair place for women, especially in countries like India and China. We are deprived of our own identity and dreams, being told that we are only of value if one day we’ll be married. But there are rebellious girls like Abhi, who knew it’s wrong. That made her depressed because everything around her wasn’t right.

Now Abhi has successfully escaped India, doing comedy to open up her traumatic past. How was her journey? You’ll find out in this episode.
