    "Let's bring women into the spotlight."

    Oxfam India uploaded a video where a group of Indian men and women stood in a circle and were asked general questions about their everyday lives.

    The questions pertained to the freedom the participants have in India, ranging from the freedom to choose their own name, to their freedom to commute safely.

    The answers weren't surprising at all.

    By the end of the video, the women were hidden in darkness, indicating their lack of real freedom, while the men stood in bright spotlights.
