Dear all,
following on Alejandra´s message and a concrete request from the support team, I would like to ask you all to send a brief note on what mobilisations or actions took place in your country/region around 8 March. In that way we can prepare a note to include in the website that shows what the FTF did for this date.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
Ana
Queridas amigas,
siguiendo el mensaje de Alejandra y un pedido concreto del grupo de apoyo, les solicito si pueden enviar una síntesis de las movilizaciones y acciones que tuvieron lugar en vuestro país/región en torno al 8 de marzo. De esa manera podemos sacar una nota en el sitio web que incluya qué es lo que hizo el ETF en esta primera movilización.
Muchas gracias desde ya!
Saludos,
Ana

Subject: FW: [Gcap-women] March 8: Thousands Across India Decry Poverty &DemandWomen's Agenda in Governance
Congratulations to all the women who are out there mobilizing and putting women's rights at the centre of the struggle against poverty.
It would be great to have at the end of this mobilizations a two page doc with a summary of this country, regional and iinternational
That we know is going to be readable and ALL GCAP iknows about this
I am sure some GCAPs outside FTF read about FTF staff but we could work on sth very brief that highlights how actually women's rights issues are part of the challenge and we engage with issues critically and in solidarity and in political partnerships with other groups..
It would be good to name and put there the names of the groups involved so we start being more clear on who, what and how
Beijos

Subject: [Gcap-women] March 8: Thousands Across India Decry Poverty & DemandWomen's Agenda in Governance
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN SPEAK OUT AGAINST POVERTY
Demand Centrality of Women's Concerns in National Governance Agenda
March 9, 2007 ( India)
On the occasion of International Women's Day, over 5000 women across India have been linked by partners of Wada Na Todo Abhiyan to remind the government of it promise to end Poverty & Social Exclusion, and reinforce that this change will not be possible unless women's concerns and rights are mainstreamed in governance.
In keeping with this objective, the release of a Perspective Report titled "Gender & Governance: Reviewing the Women's Agenda in the National Common Minimum Programme" has been co-ordinated through 40 events across 10 states in India - of which 27 were held on March 8, 2007 alone , and 13 more are being organized across the month. A total of 12,145 people, primarily women, are being linked through this effort.*
The Report draws attention to the outcomes for women in relation to the National Common Minimum Program and its 3 flagship programs, namely the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA). Authored by eminent activists and experts, the report draws attention to the need for additional efforts to be made to ensure that women are able to benefit from and participate in the national initiatives for livelihood, health and education.
In this report, Amarjeet Kaur (All India Trade Union Congress) points out that although that although 96% of working women in India belong to the informal sector, the country still lacks social security legislation that can ensure fair wages and safe working conditions for millions of women. Annie Raja (National Federation of Indian Women) notes that despite the provision for 33% preference for women workers in NREGA, field audits show that women are prevented from taking up work through the scheme, and paid lower wages for their work.
Abhijit Das (Centre for Health & Social Justice) and Jashodhara Dasgupta (Sahayog) adjudge that for the NRHM to achieve its intended objective, the explicit recognition of gender disparity as a determinant of health status and access to health care is imperative. Malini Ghose (Nirantar) draws attention to the adverse impact of privatization of education on women and girls, particularly from socially disadvantaged sections, and strongly recommends that the state should arrest its withdrawal from the education sector and the formal education system should be strengthened not downsized.
These and other recommendations to strengthen the women's agenda in the National Common Minimum Programme have informed the discussions with women from village self-help groups, village panchayats, urban poor settlements, representatives of government, women's organizations, social activists and the media.
Wada Na Todo Abhiyan (Keep Your Promise campaign) is a network of over 900 organizations, active in 15+ states of India. The campaign works to hold the government accountable to its promise to End Poverty & Social Exclusion - as promised in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, the National Development Goals and the National Common Minimum Program.
