The safe space Sood Singh is referring to is the Instagram account Women of the Wild - India, which showcases the untold stories of women working for science and nature". The platform gives them a chance to promote their expertise, but also somewhere to share their experiences of working in what are often male-dominated fields where sexual harassment can often feature.
