कार्यस्थल पर लैंगिक हिंसा के संदर्भ में जब भी कोई चर्चा या लेख देखती हूँ, तो कई बातें खुद से पूछती और जवाब देती रहती हूँ। पर दिमाग में जो लगातार कौंधता है, वो यह है कि आखिर करता कौन है लैंगिक हिंसा?
क्या सबकी पहचान हो पाती है? आज तक मैंने इस सवाल को जितना उधेड़ा, उतना ही यह मुझे उलझाता रहा।

When I see my daughter, Mansi play in front of the house, I am swept by this sudden rush of feelings and emotions. It makes me ponder over her childhood and I know these days will be remembered by her as her most peaceful days for the rest of her life. But the thing that makes me wonder most is how different my childhood days were.

Building Safe and Inclusive Cities for Women – A practical guide

This is a broad introduction to the process of creating safe cities for women and girls. It introduces the key concepts of safe cities and offers practical tools for how to begin building a safer, more inclusive city. The information in this guide combines knowledge from scholarly research with insights from on-the-ground work around the world, with particular focus on JAGORI’s work in India. In the six years of work on this issue, we have learnt that it is possible to make cities safer for women and girls.

Notebooks & Diaries

The Jagori notebooks, or diaries as they are sometimes called...

2001
Main aur mera Thikana मैं और मेरा ठिकाना

From focus of rights of single women, we went on to women’s shelter. Does shelter only refer to the definition of shelter such as father’s house, family homes and ancestral homes for a woman? We focused on women emerged out of dicult situations & challenged traditional ideas of home in their lives, in order to bring out a change in the attitudes.

2001
Phaisle Aur Phaasle फैसले और फासले

This notebook came as a response to the introduction of the 73rd Constitutional amendment, reserving one-third seats for women. It was a sudden rush of women to the political arenas. It was a reach out to the women’s movement as well with women claiming their spaces in political participation..

1994
Mera Sharir, Mere Phaisle मेरा शरीर, मेरे फैसले

India’s Family planning programme which was introduced to check fertility rates and control women’s reproductive rights was a major patriarchal control on women everywhere. We have been campaigning against such contraceptives such as Depo-Provera, Net-en used to control women’s choices.

1993
Tann Se Mann Tak तन से मन तक

From being aware of oneself, being conscious of ones bodies are also a right of every woman. The subject of woman’s autonomy & knowledge over their bodies was put forward in this notebook, from adolescence, sexuality, pregnancy, childbirth. For so long, we have been taught to control it, but not anymore.

1992
Tu Ekal, Main Ekal तू एकल, मैं एकल

From talking of violence faced by women in marriages in the name of dowry, domestic violence, sexual violence in public places we moved on to rights of single women in this year’s notebook. What happens to a woman deciding to live outside the institution of marriage?

1991
Chal Chale Shabdon Ke Mele चल चले शब्दों के मेले

The theme for this year became the festival of words- a celebration of empowerment of women through literacy and knowledge for women. It was a wake up call to women everywhere to realize the power of words, of writing, as a way to express anger and love, power and loss, acceptance and questioning. The notebook was shaped not only by the creator but also by the owner

1990
Aangan Se Aangan Tak आँगन से आँगन तक

It was like coming out to the ‘angan’ or courtyard in front of the house, to greet all who were present there. This represented a major shift that was happening during this period, as the women’s movement was taking shape, more women were coming out on streets proudly asserting their common identity as women; they were also responding to rising communal tension around them. It became a collective space for women of dierent identities, geographical areas and constituencies to come together in solidarity and celebration.

1989
Mujh Se Tujh Tak मुझ से तुझ तक

The second notebook moved one step further in giving women a space to talk, dialogue, share their views, experiences, deepest desires and celebrate the joy of friendship and mutual understanding among diversity. The writings were meant to inspire one to be free. It was made with combined eorts of the community health programme, Action India was one of the partners who participated in the creation of this notebook.

1988
Mere Andar Tak मेरे अंदर तक

The first notebook was brought out in the year 1988. It was an initial attempt to bring about a space for women to express and articulate themselves freely. A notebook may not be the complete solution, but it became a space to put down innermost feelings, thoughts, and breaking the barriers, silences for each one of us. It explored meaningful relationship with oneself.The first notebook was brought out in the year 1988.
