<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks for the prompt response.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In terms of funds, as you know, we do have some
funds for the Indian tribunal which you are not going to use. It will be
important to decide who will be important to ensure that is there so we can use
some of the funds to pay for the tickets. You must take a decision on whether
it's better that someone from the Gambia travels or some other women from the
region. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Dear Ana,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for this. It would be wonderful to have inter-regional
representatives participate in Women's Tribunal. I would suggest that the
representatives attend as Respondents, which will enable them to respond to
the experiences being shared at the Tribunal with instances from their own
country context and thus play a constructive role in the Tribunal. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However I do see funding as a constraint in enabling participation not
only for the colleague from The Gambia, but also from Asia itself -
several had written with similar requests earlier. At our end also we can
try to see if we can raise any additional resources for the local event, which
may free up some of the funding at the GCAP level for inter-regionl
participation. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Secondly, the entire event is being hosted in the campsite of the
Janadesh 2007, the facilities would be very basic - the participants
would need to be mentally and physically prepared for that! The good part is
that if they are able to withstand these conditons, then they can also
come in several days earlier as there would be no additional cost for
accomodation at the Janadesh site - now finalized at Rajghat, which is
also marks the resting place and memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Hello Yadi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am at the moment focused on schooling but am following keenly all the
correpondence and development on GCAP especially GCAP - women.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks and my regards to all the activists....<BR><BR><B><I>yadi eribo

POVERTY<BR>><BR>>17 October 2007 - Delhi <BR>><BR>>WHY OCTOBER
17?<BR>><BR>>17 October, World Day to Overcome Extreme Poverty, was
created twenty years <BR>>ago by the initiative of people living in
poverty across the world, North <BR>>and South, with ordinary citizens
acting together to defend human rights <BR>>violated by extreme
poverty. In 1992, the UN recognized the date as the <BR>>International
Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Since its creation, <BR>>October 17
has been a day for those living in extreme poverty to speak out
<BR>>and for all citizens to consider how they can contribute to the
eradication <BR>>of extreme
poverty.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>OBJECTIVES OF THE WOMEN'S TRIBUNAL
AGAINST POVERTY<BR>><BR>>The 'Women's Tribunal against Poverty' is
being proposed as an opportunity <BR>>for grassroots women leaders
across the country to come together and make a <BR>>strong statement on
the ways in which the policies and programs of the <BR>>government are
being experienced by women who face acute social and <BR>>economic
discrimination – including Dalits, Denotified & Nomadic Tribes,
<BR>>Adivasis, Forest Dwellers, Muslim Minorities, Women with
Disabilities & <BR>>Single Women.<BR>><BR>>The Women's
Tribunal is founded on the premise that the struggle to end
<BR>>poverty is powerless without the participation and leadership of
women, and <BR>>that the government's promise to end Poverty &
Social Exclusion cannot be <BR>>achieved unless women's agenda are made
central to its policies, programs <BR>>and budgets, and efforts are
made to ensure that women.<BR>><BR>>STRUCTURE OF THE WOMEN'S
TRIBUNAL AGAINST POVERTY<BR>><BR>>The Women's Tribunal will evaluate
the outcomes that have resulted from the <BR>>initiatives of national
government in the context of Poverty & Social <BR>>Exclusion. These
outcomes will be reviewed under the themes of:<BR>><BR>>a) Right to
Work & Livelihoods<BR>><BR>>b) Food Security, Public Services
& Infrastructure <BR>><BR>>c) Land &
Housing<BR>><BR>>d) Inclusion &
Participation<BR>><BR>>Within the above themes, the Tribunal will
aim to draw lessons from what <BR>>has worked well and benefited women
living at the margins, and what has <BR>>been flawed or overlooked in
the interventions and approaches of policies <BR>>and programs that
were implemented in the context of the National Common <BR>>Minimum
Program & the National Development Goals.
<BR>><BR>>Approximately 200 women from across 20 states of India
would be part of the <BR>>presentations, depositions and discussion
that will be held as part of the <BR>>Women's Tribunal against Poverty
on 17th October 2007. The proceedings of <BR>>the Tribunal would be
organized around key themes and questions that are <BR>>relevant to the
issues of Women and their experiences of Poverty & Social
<BR>>Exclusion. These include:<BR>><BR>>1. Right to Work &
Livelihoods <BR>><BR>>§ What other policy measures need to be taken
to ensure fair wages <BR>>and safe working conditions for women working
in the informal sector?<BR>><BR>>§ What are the issues facing the
increasing number of women in the <BR>>agricultural
sector?<BR>><BR>>§ Have initiatives like the NREGA & Micro
Credit enabled the <BR>>guarantee of work and the creation of assets
for women?<BR>><BR>>§ What needs to be done to emphasize and
adequately recognize the <BR>>unpaid productive & reproductive work
of women?<BR>><BR>>2. Food Security, Public Services &
Infrastructure<BR>><BR>>§ Has women's access to food security
(across life cycles) been <BR>>enhanced through programs such as the
PDS and ICDS? <BR>><BR>>§ How are women integrated in programs for
health & education such <BR>>as the NRHM & Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan?<BR>><BR>>§ Are women's needs and priorities integrated in
the planning and <BR>>development of public infrastructure through
programs such as the Bharat <BR>>Nirman and JNNURM?<BR>><BR>>3.
Land & Housing<BR>><BR>>§ Has women's access to land increased
as a result of initiatives <BR>>such as the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and
the amendments to the Hindu <BR>>Succession Act?<BR>><BR>>§ What
policy measures need to be emphasized to ensure their right <BR>>to
housing and ability to own land? <BR>><BR>>§ What challenges are
being faced by women in relation to new <BR>>developments under the SEZ
Act & Mining Policy / Permit amendments?<BR>><BR>>4. Inclusion
& Participation<BR>><BR>> <BR>>§ What opportunities have been
created for women's <BR>>self-determination, leadership and direct
participation in governance? How <BR>>is poverty mitigated or
emphasized due to the lack of access to decision <BR>>making and
governance?<BR>><BR>>§ How have women's opportunities for
participation and political <BR>>empowerment helped to deal with
conflict, violence & discrimination and <BR>>influence the
priorities of the community? <BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>OUTCOMES OF
THE WOMEN'S TRIBUNAL AGAINST POVERTY<BR>><BR>>Women's Charter
against Poverty & Social Exlcusion<BR>><BR>>The Women's Tribunal
against Poverty aims to consolidate the experiences <BR>>across at
least 10 states of India in relation to the advantages &
<BR>>disadvantages experienced by women in relation to existing
policies & <BR>>programs, and strengthen the policy agenda required
to enable their access <BR>>to and control over their entitlements.
These outcomes would be compiled to <BR>>form a 'Women's Charter
against Poverty' which would include:<BR>><BR>>a) Policy Agenda
Setting Papers<BR>><BR>>Relevant groups would be involved to define
the sub-themes of the Women's <BR>>Tribunal against Poverty through
Policy Agenda Setting Papers, based on the <BR>>experiences and demands
of their work and struggles. These Papers would <BR>>define the key
policy demands that need to be taken forward in order to <BR>>address
the gender dimensions of poverty, and enable women to lead efforts
<BR>>for social change and empowerment.<BR>><BR>>b) Testimonies
of Women across Marginalized Groups <BR>><BR>>Key movements and
networks would be involved to identify women whose <BR>>testimonies
would serve to highlight the experiences of the most vulnerable
<BR>>social groups in the country. These depositions would be recorded
and form <BR>>an important basis for the Verdict of the Women's
Tribunal against Poverty.<BR>><BR>>c) "Imperatives to End Poverty
& Social Exclusion"<BR>><BR>>A Jury comprising of women leaders
from different fields representing <BR>>Social Development, Arts &
Culture, Academics, Students & Youth, Mass Media <BR>>and Politics
– will be identified to receive and represent the testimonies <BR>>that
are presented in the Women's Tribunal against Poverty. The key
<BR>>findings and conclusions of the Jury would be form of the Verdict
of the <BR>>Women's Tribunal against Poverty. The Verdict would also
identify the <BR>>"Imperatives to End Poverty & Social Exclusion"
that the government must <BR>>emphasize and implement based on the
demands and experiences that have <BR>>emerged from the
Tribunal.<BR>><BR>>The 'Women's Charter Against Poverty & Social
Exclusion' would be released <BR>>to public and the media at the end of
the Tribunal, and disseminated to the <BR>>policy makers / policy
making groups as an outcome of the event. We will <BR>>aim for a
delegation to a key public representative to present the outcomes
<BR>>of the Women's Tribunal against Poverty, ideally with the
President of <BR>>India – as this is also the first time in the history
of the nation that a <BR>>woman holds this position. We would also
explore other alternatives such as <BR>>meeting a relevant Minister of
State or a Parliamentary Committee. A <BR>>solidarity / public action –
such as in collaboration with the ongoing <BR>>Janadesh 2007 – too
would be explored as part of the culmination of the
<BR>>Tribunal.<BR>><BR>><BR>>--<BR>>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR>>Wada-Na-Todo-Abhiyan
