Women and Environment: Case Studies From India

2001-03-27

South Asia Partnership invites you to a seminar on "Women and Environment: Case Studies From India," presented by Shyamala Mani, Centre for Environment Education, India, Thursday, March 29 12:00-2:00 p.m. 1 Nicholas St., Suite 200, Ottawa.

Marginalized Indian women face many environmental problems on a daily basis — poor sanitation and housing, resource scarcity, exposure to pollution and hazardous equipment. Shyamala Mani, Coordinator of the Delhi branch of the Centre for Environment Education (CEE), has been working on projects in rural and urban areas to improve women's physical and economic environment. She will present two case studies — rural Karnataka and waste retrievers in Bangalore — and outline a framework that northern NGOs and donors can use when they approach these issues.

Ms Mani has worked for the CEE since 1987. She is completing her Ph. D. in Environmental Sciences at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi and has published several papers on environmental management.

Limited seating! Please RSVP early with Ms. Judy Stott, Tel: 241-1333 ext. 221; jstott@sapcanada.org
