WINGS
WINGS: Women's International News Gathering Service is an all-woman independent radio production company that produces and distributes news and current affairs programs by and about women around the world.
In 1988, the government of India outlawed the so-called Devadasi system, a practice in which young girls were dedicated to the service of a deity. In today’s WINGS program, Indu Ramesh and her team cover the history and distortions of this southern India tradition, up to the present when according to the government it has disappeared.
