Situational Analysis of Women Self-Help Groups among Maram Tribal Women in Manipur, India
Get PDFTribes are the most vulnerable groups in the country. One of the reasons attributed to this isthat tribal groups are persons who are still very much attached to traditional beliefs andpractices. Although technological advancement has brought improvement in general, tribalsare not able to fully keep up with the current state of affairs. Their mindset appears to belinked to the past, and in a distinctive manner, to ancestral thoughts and ideas. In this context,tribal women have to face challenges in their lives. With the introduction of variousprogrammes and implementation of schemes for the benefit of women in general andparticularly for tribal women, they are able to move forward to a better future. For women, inparticular for Maram tribal women, programmes, such as self-help groups (SHGs), havehelped them as they have long been denied their basic rights under customary laws andtraditions. The objective of this paper is to analyse the status quo of Maram tribal women inManipur, India. A field study of Maram tribal women was conducted at Maram Centrevillage under Tadubi block, Senapati district in Manipur. This study reveals that awarenesscreation and sensitisation for the cause of literacy and government schemes will enhance theempowerment of Maram tribal women. This process of sustained empowerment of Maramtribal women through SHGs will result in the overall development of the Maram tribalcommunity in the long run
Housing among Persons of International Protection in the Slovak Republic
Get PDFThe present study2 analyses the conditions and housing opportunities for Persons of Concern(PoCs) to the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), specifically refugeesand persons who have been granted subsidiary protection in Slovakia. This study follows recentpilot studies conducted in Poland and Hungary, which examine the risks of homelessness forPoCs. However, the scope of this paper is wider and deals with issues of housing morethoroughly. The analysis includes risk assessment and the impact of housing policies andlegislation is assessed and key issues are identified. It is also the first comprehensive analysis ofhousing issues among PoCs in Slovakia. Since 2010 the provision of their basic needs werepassed from the state to an NGO which became the main service provider of theiraccommodation. Lack of education and an insufficient knowledge of Slovak language supportedby stereotypes and prejudices of employers and the majority to foreigners (especially from Africaand Arab countries) greatly reduce their chances to find a job and support an adequate housing.The capacities of an NGO are limited and the state should rethink its approach towards thisvulnerable group via a concrete implementation plan (not just through strategic or conceptualdocuments) for their integration into the society
