Indian
Federation of University Women's Associations The
Right to Information Act became law in June 2005. IFUWA wants to
use this law in two ways. (1) to get women facing non-complicance
delays by governmental agencies and public sector units to be able to
achieve redress. (2) to increase confidence, and decision-making
of its members by explaining the implications of the law and by teaching
members how it can be applied and how they can use the law to fight for
women's rights.
25%
of IFUWA members will receive training in using the Right to Information
Act. Partners in the project will be Parivarthan-New Dehli, Yahsada-Pune,
Bombay chartered Accountants Society and the National Informatics Center-Pune.
As
a second step, the knowledge acquired will be applied to build case studies
which will be used as a mass media showcase, to show how civil society
can benefit from the new law.
