Women's Day 2025: How Varanasi’s Rita Tiwari is Empowering Women Through Self-Employment | OneIndia

Women's Day 2025: In Varanasi, women are finding new employment opportunities through products made from cow dung and cow urine. This initiative has enabled women to earn a steady income from home. Due to the growing popularity of cow dung and cow urine-based products, employment in this sector is also increasing. Rita Tiwari from Varanasi started this movement and has since helped numerous women become self-reliant. She began this work in 2005, initially making cow dung diyas (lamps) and incense sticks. Over time, she also received formal training in the field. #WomensDay2025 #EmploymentFromCowDungInVaranasi #OneIndia #WomenInLeadership #BreakingBarriers #Resilience #CareerGrowth #Entrepreneurship ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~

75,000 Worshippers Gather at Al-Aqsa for Ramadan's Final Friday Prayers Amid Israeli Restrictions

Around 75,000 Muslim worshippers gathered at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem for the final Friday prayers of Ramadan. Despite facing strict Israeli restrictions and reported harassment, Palestinians participated in the prayers at the sacred site. The number of worshippers this year was notably lower due to increased security measures. Al-Aqsa Mosque, a significant religious site for Muslims, remains a focal point of tensions, with ongoing restrictions on Palestinian access further intensifying regional grievances. #AlAqsa #Jerusalem #Ramadan #Palestine #Israel #Prayers #OccupiedJerusalem #FinalFriday #MuslimUnity #ReligiousFreedom #IsraeliRestrictions #MiddleEast #AlAqsaMosque #PrayerGathering #Peace #FreedomOfReligion #PalestinianRights #HolySite #Conflict #BreakingNews ~HT.336~GR.124~
