‘What should we do about Dowry?’
by

Author, Columnist
6.15 pm, Saturday, March 3, 2012
Vidyaranya School, opp Secretariat, Hyderabad
Note about the meeting
According to the latest crime statistics, one woman is burnt every hour for dowry. And these are only the reported cases. Why is there an increase in dowry deaths instead of a decline? Why does the custom persist despite campaigns by women’s groups to oppose it?
What is needed to create awareness again about the way women continue to be treated as commodities in the marriage market?
Women’s March is an annual initiative presented this year jointly by Alliance Fraincaise de Hyderabad, Kalakriti Art Gallery, Moving Images, University of Hyderabad, Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad and Manthan.

No pass required. Just reach a little early so you'll have some time to get to know people. Read up on kalpana and ask her some tough questions.
