Miss Getty und Frauenrechte in Indien

Tanja Siebert — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 12:52:53 +0000

Since April 14, Miss Getty, a lawyer from the Netherlands, works as a legal volunteer at REAL organization, a Non-Profit-Organization based in Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, India promoting women’s rights.

‘How successful are we, Miss Getty? That is what we like you to find out for us’, told Mr. Lawrence this morning, when I was attending Getty’s first day at work in the office.

“INDIA has elaborate laws to protect the rights of women, including the Prevention of Immoral Traffic, the Sati (widow burning) Act, and the Dowry Prevention Act. Women and children have figured prominently in the government’s agenda of social reforms and initiatives. However the Government is often unable to enforce these laws, especially in rural areas where traditions are deeply rooted. Dowry, Female bondage and forced prostitution are widespread in some parts of India”

‚Miss Getty has to find out where REAL can still improve the gap between the effective awareness of women’s rights and the lack of it’, as Mr. Lawrence put it.

Many obstacles to the realization of women’s human rights in India, are social and cultural in nature, deeply rooted in the traditions of its communities.

This is what is written about women’s rights on one of the many websites covering this issue, http://www.indianchild.com/womens_issues_in_india.htm.

Non polluting ecosan toilet turns it into compost, usable for the (future) vegetable garden

Tanja Siebert — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 14:11:04 +0000

De 1%CLUB is a Dutch online marketplace for development projects. The projects are small and concrete. One asks only 1% of people’s time or money to invest in projects of one’s own choice from a list of ‘project owners’. So far only Dutch ‘owners’ could ask for support through the 1%CLUB’s website (see link attached). From January 1 foreign based organizations (NGOs and CBO’s) are invited to directly apply for 1% support.

AMAIDI is going to apply for funds for an ecosan toilet for its own project: AMAIDI Child Care Center in the slums of Cuddalore Old Town in Tamil Nadu. In addition to fundraise activities currently undertaken by Miriam and Lisanne van Zwol and Machteld Wit from the Netherlands, members of the Dutch Support Group of our CCC.

The current toilet is not only insufficient for the 15 children and staff, it also pollutes the ground water close to the center. An ecosan toilet will keep the faces not only separated from the soil (catching it in an above ground container), it turns it into compost, usable for the (future) vegetable garden. The advantages for the children and staff from there on are obvious!

Join us by checking in the website of the 1%CLUB. After 1 Jan the international website will be operation. Be sure to come back by then and give as much as you can.

We hope for the best,

Regards,
Camille & Jansi
