The past week has been spent planning EKTA's goals and strategies for the next five years. Our ultimate goals remain the same -- creating a gender just society and eliminating discrimination based on gender, class, caste, and religion -- but we are reflecting on past strategies and reaffirming what courses of action we will need to take to meet these aims. Many of our priorities are simply being re-articulated for effectiveness and clarity, such as emphasizing the prevention of violence against women as a distinct concern, although it has always been of great importance to EKTA. EKTA will also remain committed to capacity building, research and documentation, and campaigns, lobbying, and grassroots advocacy.
We have many continuing projects, including the Safe Cities for Women campaigns and capacity building for elected women leaders in Tamil Nadu, as well as many exciting new projects in development, so stay tuned! (Particularly for details on the culmination of One Billion Rising on February 14th, which we will be sharing shortly).
Here are some fantastic pictures from the Ahayla/OBR launch event. Enjoy!
