Claudy Vouhé shared GRB in local authorities (French)
Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) shows that the development of a budget and budgetary choices are powerful levers in terms of gender equality. We share our lessons learned in the field: a 5-step method, concrete examples (culture, sport, subsidies, public procurement, etc.) and keys to success. An operational work to objectify the impact of public policies and budgets and make RHL accessible.
Anuradha Kapoor Shared Swayam Recent Published Study
This exploratory study foregrounds the largely invisible issue of natal family violence (NFV) in India, exploring its forms, prevalence, and deep, long-term impacts on women's lives. It challenges the myth of the natal home as a safe space and centres survivor voices and lived experiences. The findings expose systemic silences and institutional barriers to justice. It offers vital insights for policy reform, feminist praxis, and deeper societal reflection.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali - Narrative
My flashback to working with wildlife-affected communities living in a biological transboundary corridor in Bardiya, Nepal, where I spent my golden 15 years. This story reflects changes that demonstrate how a community's tolerance extends to coexistence, and that is only due to the well-integrated planning of Ecotourism opportunities for the community.

Two E's are the Key Elements of 'Empowering' Women
In the countries like in South-Asia, 'Education' and 'Economy' are the two vehicles with which a woman can attain 'Empowerment' in her family and in the society as well.
Here 'Education' does not mean only 'Formal' education. It is informal, life-skill-oriented education. In our country many women are totally illiterate, but can we imagine how do they 'manage' their own family with so many members in a family? Do we (both men and women) recognize their creativity? There are so many potential women in rural and urban slum areas...how many of us know about them or do we have any data/ information on their creativity? It has been proved by many development organizations that if these women would have any opportunity to participate in any orientation/ training/ learning session, they could spontaneously show their potentiality and explore them in that way. So, 'Education' to the women is the first step to build the 'Platform'.
Secondly (and importantly), engaging women in Economic development activities and ensuring 'self-employment' of the women will lead them to become 'self-confident'. It is proved that when the women have cash money in their hand, they are able to raise their voice, they can argue against ill-motives, they can participate in family decision-making process, overall, they can lead the family alongside with men. The society recognize women's role and their creativity once the women prove themselves as 'self-managed' persons, and thus they become 'Empowered'.
So, when it is possible to interweave two E's at a time for a woman, Women's Empowerment will surely be achieved. Primary healthcare and hygiene, family planning, children's education, human rights, environment etc. will obviously be in place. There would be no need of taking gigantic projects on these interventions.

Thanks for a very good thought! I agree with your assessment. Now we also need to think which E is more important. Can we suggest to start quiz like koun banega karorpati weekly for girl students/ villager women. so that they attract towards education and also earn money.
