Sheryl Sandberg's Story Of Bengaluru Woman Who Helped Female Co-Workers

"Almost all of our Lean In Circle leaders in India have been affected by COVID-19," wrote Sheryl Sandberg

Facebook's second-in-command Sheryl Sandberg has shared a post detailing how women in India are supporting each other and their communities during the Covid crisis.  Ms Sandberg founded Lean In, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping "women come together to learn from each other and achieve their goals", in 2013. Since then, Lean In Circles have emerged in over 184 countries. Circles bring together women from all walks of life and in these small groups, "women get and give peer mentorship, sharpen their skills, and have a place to be unapologetically ambitious," writes the organisation. In India, said Ms Sandberg in her Instagram post, almost all Circle Leaders have been affected by the devastating second wave of Covid infections, one way or the other. "Almost all of our @leaninorg Circle leaders in India have been affected by COVID-19, and many have lost loved ones," she said. "I recently spoke with some of these Circle leaders to learn more about the grief and challenges they're facing," the Facebook COO wrote, adding that she was left in awe of the women who supported and helped each other through tough times.
