Sub: Invite:
A National Workshop “Violence Against Women: Contemporary Issues and
Challenges: Unite to End Violence Against Women and Girls”
Dear Mr. Sagar,
MAITRI
is a Delhi-based humanitarian and developmental NGO established in
2005. Maitri strengthens communities through individual and community
empowerment with advocacy, education, community-based program,
development and networking.
Maitri
is unique in being one of the few NGO's globally, which is committed to
the health and welfare concerns of Uniformed Personnel and their
families. Violence against women and domestic violence in the Uniformed
Services is a key focus of Maitri Initiatives. Uniform constitutes
Military, Air Force, Navy, Paramilitary Forces and all State Police
Forces. One of Maitri’s key areas of work is to address all aspect of
violence against women, particularly domestic violence (Intimate Partner
Violence and sexual violence), creating public awareness, advocacy for
better policy and legal framework and the need for necessary support
services.
The
theme for International Women’s Day 2012 is “Connecting Girls,
Inspiring Futures.” What is known in Indian context is that despite the
fact that India is seen as a strong knit community, support for a woman
surviving domestic violence is still very low within the cultural and
social spaces. Secondly, it is vital to focus on the issues of violence
against girls/women on timely basis since the knowledge of the subject
produced is based on social and economic factors that are generational,
shifting and always changing.
Maitri
is organizing a National Workshop on “Violence Against Women:
Contemporary Issues and Challenges: Unite to End Violence Against Women
and Girls“ on 07th March 2012 at Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Expression
of interest, academic and non-academic papers are invited from
individuals, practitioners, researchers, service providers and policy
makers. Participants are requested to submit papers based on empirical
evidence, biographical/autobiographical approaches or reviews on one or
more aspects of issues associated to Domestic Violence mentioned in the
themes above. (The Concept note of the Consultation is attached
herewith).
We would like to invite you to participate as observers and add value to the conference.
The main Aims and Objectives of the workshop are:
● Expand understanding of the issues of domestic violence and its ramifications
● Understanding intersectional dimensions of domestic violence
● Increase the need to address health issues, institutional and support services
Participation to the workshop is free of charge.
