Gender and Essential Services: Deepening our Analysis

Presented in this report are the findings of the scoping study conducted in Bawana resettlement colony that examined the vulnerability of urban poor women and girls when they have to access insensitive infrastructure and services. The report brings to forth that they face dual vulnerability. Being women, they are always considered as “second citizens” to every policy, plan, programme and benefit. Moreover, when this gender identity is coupled with poverty, age, disability, etc., the impact is much more complex and severe.

Understanding Pluralism

by Kamla Bhasin

This is a simple yet enriching guide to understand the concept of ‘pluralism’.

Actively appreciating, engaging with and protecting plurality is pluralism. It emphasises that pluralism is not simply tolerance; it is also the seeking of understanding of diversity.
