2022 Prize Winner
DiP and DSAA are delighted to announce Pranjali Das as the winner of the 2022 DSAA & DiP HDR Journal Award, for the article “Investing emotions at work: an exploratory study of women’s experience in Indian NGOs”.Abstract: This article studies the experience of emotional labour by women in Indian NGOs. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 11 women across four anti-trafficking organisations in Kolkata, the article highlights how emotional labour has been rationalised and naturalised as women’s work. It shares the emotional distress and vulnerability encountered by women due to under-recognition of their labour. Despite the overwhelming nature of their work, women consider it as a trade-off for the empowerment they experience due to their memberships with NGOs. Concluding remarks address the need for NGOs to support the well being of their workers.
