Making Women
Visible is a new project of SPARROW funded by
Mama Cash, Amsterdam. Through this project we aim
to document the work done by women's organisations
by initiating a documentation, dissemination, communication
and information process. SPARROW has always felt
the need for such a project which will enable us
to collect, archive, and compile information related
to various organisations working on women's issues
and keep it under one roof and share the material
in a way that it increases the visibility of the
work done by various organisations, gives easier
accessibility and also helps to foster meaningful
connections. We feel that this process of collection
and dissemination is the first step towards consolidating
the collective gains made by the women's movement
in India and that it will help immensely in opening
up a new dialogue and also stress the proactive
role of an archives in the development process.
This project will operate at many levels including
collection of the various outreach material brought
out by the organisations, information about their
resource persons, photo documentation and audiovisual
documentation. The information thus collected will
be then be shared in various ways through our various
outreach programmes like networking with students
and other organisations, newsletter, publications
and the website.
