Why work with us

The organisational mission is to mobilise the marginalised people, especially women, locally and network at the provincial, national and international levels to get access to and control over natural resources and also cooperate to conserve these resources, improve the quality of their lives and enhance their livelihood opportunities. The whole hearted participation of women in these efforts doubles the social energy involved in them by reducing patriarchal oppression and helps in the evolution of a liberating framework of action and conservation that is both equitable and sustainable.

The strategies adopted to achieve this are –

• Problem analysis workshops in which the people participate in open discussions to pinpoint the problems they face and the ways in which they can be overcome through cooperation and mobilisation.
• Legal and rights training workshops in which the people are taught the basics of the liberal democratic constitutional framework including its scope and limitations.
• Collective Action for rights through public demonstrations, sit-ins and legal and media advocacy.
• Revival of traditional labour and resource pooling customs.
• Special women’s meetings to get them involved in resource conservation work, public demonstrations, tackle reproductive health problems and engage with men to reduce patriarchy.
• Advocacy to change the laws and rules in favour of the marginalised.
• Provide education and health services
