According to UNDP report, in terms of basic female capabilities Kerala has a high ranking compared to other Indian states. However, the paradox is that Kerala also faces high suicide rate, violence against women, child marriages and tendency towards female foeticide. Though womens literacy is high, their work participation and political participation is very low; and violence against women continues to rise. n. dxGMMdxGMMd'xGMMdxM#d xGdxGd xGdxGdGdGdxxGdGdF(xKd/ 88d?#88@j? @?!GMMd!3  %# '# ## (# ## *# !C  c "#7z )3 &3 %# )3 '3 +# ## *3 &# +# C c $37 #-# ,3 -# *3 # &3 C Jc $37 +# -3 #3 (# +3 3 $3 (# C c #7 '# &# )3 #&3 # $3 %# &# *3 +# 0# (C yc "37V ,C LC?+C =-n-**nl'Nzd., t88eneration.\B & /xGMMd xGMMd_xGMMdAMdxGdAdRxGdAdxGd + #| GMMdGMMd GMMd GdGMMdx!

It was a statewide study. We helped them in household surveys and to convene meetings of people, whom were selected with a random sampling method, in different parts of the district. During the fortnight campaign on violence against women, on November 26th, we organised a seminar to disseminate the findings of the study. The findings confirmed the known facts of the high dowry demands in Kerala and the attitude of many people this as a necessary evil.

Many agencies consider gender as key element in the process of development and training as a tool in implementing gender-just development. Sakhis primary role continue to be that of a facilitating and supporting organization to the womens movement in the state and engage in political discourses about gender issues. One of the first programmes in 2003 was enhancing the capacity of senior level gender trainers. We had Abha Bhaiya and Kalyani Menon from Jagori, Delhi as trainers in a 5-day programme held at Trivandrum in January. Twenty-six women and two men from various organisations participated in the programme. They were all experienced gender trainers either at the state level or at the micro level, working with self-help groups, who wanted to update their knowledge and skills. Moreover, the participatory process of training helped to fulfill the objective of developing a core group of gender trainers in Kerala. Aleyamma Vijayan coordinated this training. dxGMMdhx(xKdddH(xKddd(xKddd(xKddd7(xKdddF(xKdddKx Mx(xKddd  )w+++# ++ '# TT+# TT#@T,3 (# *# )# +# +# -# $# # #(# (# 'C  c !#7 +# )# "# *# )3 )# (# .# ,3 +# C Fc !#7K C 7(C7  @f` ` h5@` hBPa` hJ02@ :` hE $C0 $ P ` h@ @P# ` hB0G  @ ` hD  @ ` hBPC` hJ0.@ ` h5@ ` hA0@ in Kerala and thkise.

Especially, women in NGOs can make use of the technology to improve their skill. Sakhi also joined in the novel venture of four other resource centres in India, Akshara, Mumbai, Alochana, Pune and Jagori, Delhi to launch an online course on womens rights. The goals of StreeNet course were: to upgrade the skills of women activists. provide theoretical content on feminism & gender relations, and engaging the e-learners in debate about issues that women confront today enhance practical skills and promote networking amongst activists concerned with womens issues through the Internet. The six months course officially started in February. 13 students registered in Sakhi from Kerala. The course was in four segments, Module 1 was on understanding feminism, Module 2 was on Indian womens movement, then there was a mid course meeting in Mumbai and the last module was on Globalisation and development. Each segment consisted of assignments like interviews, surveys, chat sessions, discussion forums, and theoretical inputs. The mid course meeting was held in May in Mumbai and eight students participated from Kerala. Prema Nair was the course coordinator in Kerala.

It was in continuation with the previous efforts in this line. According to the feedback from the programmes conducted last year in Thiruvananthapuram and Kottayam, we realized the need for more clarity on the construction of masculinity in the context of Kerala as essential. This year the workshop was organized by CenSe, Trissur with the support of Sakhi. The programme held on 11th and 12th, August at Peechi and 30 students participated in it. Dr.A.K Ramakrishnan, Dept. of International Relations, M.G.University, Kottayam, Dr.T.Muraleedharan Dept of English, St.Alosious College, K.C.Santhosh Kumar, CenSe, Thrissur, Dr.C.S.Venkitewaran and Dr. Ratheesh were the resource persons. Papers on the construction of masculinity in Malayalam cinema and literature were presented. The participants enriched the discussions by sharing their experiences of growing up as boys in Kerala society. The two days workshop ended with the conclusion that the socio-cultural factors are the most important elements that are affecting masculinity. #7 %S $# uu%3 uu,# uu$3 uu'# uu+# uuC &u` . @*` i`(xKddd8(xKdddCJ(xKddd(xKdddF(xKddd#C | '# &# 0PC ..JPEGuc8Jc7J#n J$# JJ*# JJ%# JJ# J*3 *3 /# '# .# +3 -# c 37 )# %# &# (3 #(#  C W@B9c h#  #  #3  C c h3 $#   #  3  S o c h"# 3   C ec h!# %#  C  c h# # #  C c h## C  c h3 #  C c h"3 C Q c h# "C  c h## #  S ac h# #  3  C  3  C  Nn$Us@X  .f@b PC Mx(xKdGMMdIxGdx#dxGdx#d9xGdd+PP c8 #7g +SPC + ` D",F,# # Sakhi had organized a Yoga class for its staff and friends from August 25th to September 5th.

And the first visit we organised on January 27th 2004 to Pazhakulam Social Service Society (PASS), Pathanamthitta. Seven of us were there in the group.

The first three chapters of the book contain basic information on violence against women. Then the consecutive four chapters analysing domestic violence, child sexual abuse, sexual harassment at workplace, rape and sex trade. Another chapter explains the legal matters regarding violence against women. The last chapter discusses the history of campaigns and actions of womens movements both in India and in Kerala and the role of Panchayats in womens issues. In connection with the Fortnight Campaign on Violence Against Women we have published three posters and one sticker. These posters and stickers were widely used in the state during the campaign through the network of womens organisations in the state, Kerala Streevedi. The report of the action research programme on Gender, Citizenship and Governance is completed and published. The manual on Life skill education for adolescents is ready and is in the press.

Ms.S.JyasLooking from a feminist and Human rights perspective, 2003 showed darker sides of the so-called civilized Kerala society. Already in 2002, we were experiencing lack of any gender sensitivity in governance institutions as political appointments undermined the womens commission and the decentralization programme was slowly being neglected. Atrocities against women continue to rise. Kerala witnessed one of the worst communal violence in Marad; rights of indigenous communities were being trampled upon in Muthanga. Environmental issues were shown least consideration. Yet, 2003 was significant in several ways for us in Sakhi. We shifted the office to a more convenient building in February. We were able to finish several programmes we started in 2002 and start new programmes. Sakhi team grew together in its vision and perspectives. We have also networked with many organizations in Kerala and nationally. We could complete several publications and reports. We have several unfinished tasks and challenges ahead of us. Lack of resources limit expansion of activities. But we forge ahead with the hope that if we are doing meaningful work, help will come our way. We are grateful to all our friends and supporters who stood by us and supported us in all our efforts. This report is a tribute to all of them- our supporters, network and partner organizations, friends and all the participants in our various programmes.
