Hello Yadi,
That's a great idea...... I remembered when you had the Women's Court of Shame in The Gambia during the 16 Days of Gender Activism as part of line activities for the occassion. The forum was covered by the National Radio and so many people called to thank us because of your association with GCAP- The Gambia, where you continue to play pivotal role as the gender focal person.
I concurred very well with you that the trip to India will give you more exposure to learn and share from your colleagues in that part of the world.Please pursue it and share the experience with your constituency back home.
I am at the moment focused on schooling but am following keenly all the correpondence and development on GCAP especially GCAP - women.
Thanks and my regards to all the activists....

>WOMEN'S TRIBUNAL AGAINST POVERTY
>
>17 October 2007 - Delhi
>
>WHY OCTOBER 17?
>
>17 October, World Day to Overcome Extreme Poverty, was created twenty years
>ago by the initiative of people living in poverty across the world, North
>and South, with ordinary citizens acting together to defend human rights
>violated by extreme poverty. In 1992, the UN recognized the date as the
>International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Since its creation,
>October 17 has been a day for those living in extreme poverty to speak out
>and for all citizens to consider how they can contribute to the eradication
>of extreme poverty.

>OBJECTIVES OF THE WOMEN'S TRIBUNAL AGAINST POVERTY
>
>The 'Women's Tribunal against Poverty' is being proposed as an opportunity
>for grassroots women leaders across the country to come together and make a
>strong statement on the ways in which the policies and programs of the
>government are being experienced by women who face acute social and
>economic discrimination - including Dalits, Denotified & Nomadic Tribes,
>Adivasis, Forest Dwellers, Muslim Minorities, Women with Disabilities &
>Single Women.
>
>The Women's Tribunal is founded on the premise that the struggle to end
>poverty is powerless without the participation and leadership of women, and
>that the government's promise to end Poverty & Social Exclusion cannot be
>achieved unless women's agenda are made central to its policies, programs
>and budgets, and efforts are made to ensure that women.
>
>STRUCTURE OF THE WOMEN'S TRIBUNAL AGAINST POVERTY
>
>The Women's Tribunal will evaluate the outcomes that have resulted from the
>initiatives of national government in the context of Poverty & Social
>Exclusion. These outcomes will be reviewed under the themes of:
>
>a) Right to Work & Livelihoods
>
>b) Food Security, Public Services & Infrastructure
>
>c) Land & Housing
>
>d) Inclusion & Participation
>
>Within the above themes, the Tribunal will aim to draw lessons from what
>has worked well and benefited women living at the margins, and what has
>been flawed or overlooked in the interventions and approaches of policies
>and programs that were implemented in the context of the National Common
>Minimum Program & the National Development Goals.
>
>Approximately 200 women from across 20 states of India would be part of the
>presentations, depositions and discussion that will be held as part of the
>Women's Tribunal against Poverty on 17th October 2007. The proceedings of
>the Tribunal would be organized around key themes and questions that are
>relevant to the issues of Women and their experiences of Poverty & Social
>Exclusion. These include:
>
>1. Right to Work & Livelihoods
>
>§ What other policy measures need to be taken to ensure fair wages
>and safe working conditions for women working in the informal sector?
>
>§ What are the issues facing the increasing number of women in the
>agricultural sector?
>
>§ Have initiatives like the NREGA & Micro Credit enabled the
>guarantee of work and the creation of assets for women?
>
>§ What needs to be done to emphasize and adequately recognize the
>unpaid productive & reproductive work of women?
>
>2. Food Security, Public Services & Infrastructure
>
>§ Has women's access to food security (across life cycles) been
>enhanced through programs such as the PDS and ICDS?
>
>§ How are women integrated in programs for health & education such
>as the NRHM & Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan?
>
>§ Are women's needs and priorities integrated in the planning and
>development of public infrastructure through programs such as the Bharat
>Nirman and JNNURM?
>
>3. Land & Housing
>
>§ Has women's access to land increased as a result of initiatives
>such as the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and the amendments to the Hindu
>Succession Act?
>
>§ What policy measures need to be emphasized to ensure their right
>to housing and ability to own land?
>
>§ What challenges are being faced by women in relation to new
>developments under the SEZ Act & Mining Policy / Permit amendments?
>
>4. Inclusion & Participation
>
>
>§ What opportunities have been created for women's
>self-determination, leadership and direct participation in governance? How
>is poverty mitigated or emphasized due to the lack of access to decision
>making and governance?
>
>§ How have women's opportunities for participation and political
>empowerment helped to deal with conflict, violence & discrimination and
>influence the priorities of the community?
>

>OUTCOMES OF THE WOMEN'S TRIBUNAL AGAINST POVERTY
>
>Women's Charter against Poverty & Social Exlcusion
>
>The Women's Tribunal against Poverty aims to consolidate the experiences
>across at least 10 states of India in relation to the advantages &
>disadvantages experienced by women in relation to existing policies &
>programs, and strengthen the policy agenda required to enable their access
>to and control over their entitlements. These outcomes would be compiled to
>form a 'Women's Charter against Poverty' which would include:
>
>a) Policy Agenda Setting Papers
>
>Relevant groups would be involved to define the sub-themes of the Women's
>Tribunal against Poverty through Policy Agenda Setting Papers, based on the
>experiences and demands of their work and struggles. These Papers would
>define the key policy demands that need to be taken forward in order to
>address the gender dimensions of poverty, and enable women to lead efforts
>for social change and empowerment.
>
>b) Testimonies of Women across Marginalized Groups
>
>Key movements and networks would be involved to identify women whose
>testimonies would serve to highlight the experiences of the most vulnerable
>social groups in the country. These depositions would be recorded and form
>an important basis for the Verdict of the Women's Tribunal against Poverty.
>
>c) "Imperatives to End Poverty & Social Exclusion"
>
>A Jury comprising of women leaders from different fields representing
>Social Development, Arts & Culture, Academics, Students & Youth, Mass Media
>and Politics - will be identified to receive and represent the testimonies
>that are presented in the Women's Tribunal against Poverty. The key
>findings and conclusions of the Jury would be form of the Verdict of the
>Women's Tribunal against Poverty. The Verdict would also identify the
>"Imperatives to End Poverty & Social Exclusion" that the government must
>emphasize and implement based on the demands and experiences that have
>emerged from the Tribunal.
>
>The 'Women's Charter Against Poverty & Social Exclusion' would be released
>to public and the media at the end of the Tribunal, and disseminated to the
>policy makers / policy making groups as an outcome of the event. We will
>aim for a delegation to a key public representative to present the outcomes
>of the Women's Tribunal against Poverty, ideally with the President of
>India - as this is also the first time in the history of the nation that a
>woman holds this position. We would also explore other alternatives such as
>meeting a relevant Minister of State or a Parliamentary Committee. A
>solidarity / public action - such as in collaboration with the ongoing
>Janadesh 2007 - too would be explored as part of the culmination of the
>Tribunal.
