EVESCAPE MAGAZINE LAUNCHED IN GOA
The first issue of EVESCAPE, Goa’s first women’s magazine, was launched at Ravindra Bhavan’s Black Box auditorium on April 28, 2012. The English monthly was released by a number of prominent Goan women from various fields of activity. EVESCAPE is dedicated to the issues concerning Goa’s women in particular and womanhood in general and intends to throw light on various relevant issues of women which would draw the attention of policy makers to bring about the desired change.
EVESCAPE is about giving an insight to its readers into every such field of activity wherein women progress socially, economically, legally, politically etc. and not just confined to recipes, make-up or fashion. EVESCAPE believes that issues related to women need to be reflected in a proper perspective keeping in view the sensitivity of the issue at hand and a proper balance to bring about a real change.
Renowned classical singer Shakuntala Bharne, who was prominent among those who unveiled the magazine called upon women in Goa to take to reading, especially local material that is published so as to encourage such initiatives. “We have a habit to glorify that which is foreign. It is time we encourage and patronize their work. In the very first edition EVESCAPE has highlighted women who were less known and unsung though their contribution speaks volumes,” she said.
