DW presents: HER | Meet women across South Asia who are breaking stereotypes and voicing their opinions loud and clear. Get ready for HER - great stories about stepping up, health, depression, dating, beauty and marriage filled with twists, turns and feeling. In recent years important steps have been taken to strengthen women’s position in South and South East Asian societies dependent on the extent of their economic development. Reforms of basic rights and legal systems, demographic changes and more dynamic civil societies have made this transformation possible. Despite all progress enormous challenges in various parts of Asia still lie ahead especially concerning gender equality. With this in mind the focus of our multimedia approach is on the lives of women from India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan. We show their experiences with stepping up, health, depression, dating, marriage and beauty. Each episode focuses on one topic featuring three women from different countries and different backgrounds. The topics are universal and controversial.
