About Us
OBJECTIVE:
We have to weave a human network to mobilize an ideological movement against female foeticide and gender inequality. And by doing so, we can make sure eradication of this social tradition by society itself.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
To organize mass based social movement on the following points & making society stand by the cause:
Ø Make up a public opinion against the use of latest techniques especially for female foeticide.
Ø Gender inequality and related offences.
Ø The practice of Dowry system and Property division.
Ø Equal wages.
Ø Participation of women labour in the farms & the male domination.
Though, many govt. and non- govt. organizations are working on the above issues and also many laws exist that are able to deal with the crimes of gender inequality. But it is also true that the ban or punishment to fuel the revolt and the problem keeps worsening secretly and this is also somehow true to these issues.
In the above scenario, we can mobilize people into a social movement against gender inequality & female foeticide. It has been observed that social organizations whether individually or govt. motivated often pressurize male population and somehow they ignite rebellion attitude among men. We have to make right use of them against gender inequality.
It is obvious that this task is not so easy that it can be achieved in a day or two. ‘Padyatras’ (Marches) which have been tested formula to create a platform for several social movements will be our tool for giving an ideological stream to the cause.
The notorious belt for Female Foeticide (Gujarat, Punjab etc.) will be our first target. By organizing several Padyatras (Marches) in several phases in this belt we will organize several committees of organizations, individuals against Female Foeticide, which will have a sharp eye on its work area independently.
Organization of local youths’ and businessmen’s committees will be done by organizing public meetings throughout the towns and institutions which will come onto the route of Padyatras or Marches. Those youths would be the commons, full of human sympathy and not only the temporary or permanent social workers, who would be able to lead the movements against Female Foeticide And Gender Inequality in the future and also, able to create social pressure against the various unsolved problems.
In fact, by making the local groups trained in solely and emotional way, we want to make the society realize the need of equal participation and equal opportunity for the society, through them.
PREVIOUS AND FIRST PHASE PROGRAMME:
A ‘March on Foot’ of 300 km. This programme started on 26th of December 2006 but it was paused due to economic and administrative problems, which still persist.
Þ It is a matter of joy that throughout the pre-announced route of the March, community based workshops and public meetings were held at 23 different places, during which many types of problems were faced and we are the same problems are taken into account while preparing the draft of the programme.
Þ Field research and direct intervention is going on the following :
· The role of ‘Paro’ (“a purchased or sold minor aged girl or young women who are brought from different parts of Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh”) in the society (Haryana).
· The result of prohibition on the participation in any type of election process or nominations, for whom having two or more children, in the state (Haryana).
Have you noticed?
On one hand the participation of women in the prosperity of Haryana is more than 50% there on the other side the economic participation of women is approximately zero. It is only an irony that where so many women are brought by selling and purchasing due to serious lack of girls on the other hand it has been a challenge for the poor family to marry their girls.
