Farah Vakil
She is a veteran Indian driver, best known for her win in the Himalayan Rally in 1990, driving a Maruti Gypsy. This was not her first rally win: she was the first female driver to win India’s Rally d’Endurance in 1989, in another Maruti. A less known fact about her is that she is a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and we will navigate through her journey as a member of the community in the field of automobile racing
Speaker Of The Week
Welcome To
Kicking Gender Boundaries
The students of the Jayshree Periwal International School present India’s first ever ‘Inclusivity Day.’ As the name suggests, this event aims to break the stigma around the LGBTQIA+ community. We plan to shed light upon the struggles and the journeys of various members by conducting interviews with them, and Allies of the community.
This year we want to make sure that despite the pandemic, students are not denied the chance to be exposed to the broad spectrum of genders and identities. We aim to provide a platform that will dispel all preconceived notions and prejudices against the community that students might harbour.
