Empowering Women Farmers: Welspun World’s EqualStock Initiative
Picture this: you’re searching for stock images of farmers in India, and what do you find? A glaring underrepresentation of women farmers, despite their significant presence in the agricultural sector. But fear not, because Welspun World is on a mission to change that with their groundbreaking initiative, EqualStock.
Shifting the Narrative
In a world where images shape perceptions, the underrepresentation of women farmers in stock photography is a problem that cannot be ignored. While women make up approximately 75% of full-time farming jobs in India, their presence in stock images doesn’t reflect this reality. Welspun World recognized this disparity and decided to take action.
Introducing EqualStock
EqualStock is Welspun World’s answer to the underrepresentation of women farmers in stock imagery. The initiative aims to flood stock image libraries with authentic, high-quality images of women farmers, shot by Welspun World themselves. These images are not only freely available online but also strategically tagged and promoted to ensure maximum visibility.
Correcting the Imbalance
With EqualStock, Welspun World is tackling the issue of underrepresentation head-on. By collaborating with journalists, brands, and content creators, they’re working to push these images higher up the algorithm, ensuring that they’re prominently featured in search results. This increased visibility will help correct the imbalance and provide a more accurate representation of women farmers online.

EqualStock is more than just a campaign – it’s a movement. By partnering with like-minded individuals and organizations, Welspun World is driving real change in the way women farmers are portrayed online. Through collective action and advocacy, they’re reshaping perceptions and challenging stereotypes in the agricultural industry.

By shining a spotlight on women farmers and amplifying their voices, Welspun World is empowering them to take their rightful place in the agricultural sector. With EqualStock, they’re not just correcting a visual imbalance; they’re paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
