NEW DELHI: CNN-IBN is set to telecast a special woman-centric show during the weekend that will discuss the plight of women in Punjab. Titled Punjab‘s Forgotten Women, the show will feature the lives of Punjab‘s women who exisit under religious rituals and social obligations dictated by family, clan and caste.

Says IBN18 Network editor-in-chief Rajdeep Sardesai, "Through this initiative, we aim to create awareness about the problems faced by these women and hope to bring about a change in their lives."

The 30 minute show uncovers the unseen side of the misery suffered by women in Punjab. The show will meet widows suffering with HIV/Aids with an aim to find out the problems that such women face after the death of the only earning member of the family.
