  • Stewarding Data for Safe & Inclusive Cities
    Stewarding Data for Safe & Inclusive Cities by Suha Mohamed 1 The Data Economy Lab is a partnership between Aapti Institute and Omidyar Network India Index 01 Introduction part 1 04 Data for Safe & Inclusive Cities 05 The need for gender specific & disaggregated data 06 Challenges in unlocking and governing data part 2 10 Existing approaches to data collection and governance for Women’s Safety 11 Safetipin – Stewarding the collection of diverse bottom-up data 16 Gender and Urban Mobility Data Collaborative: Telefonica, Data2X, UN Women – Unlocking unconventional data 19 Winnipeg Safe City, Canada – A participative approach to data Collection part 3 24 Principles and Recommendations for a Data Steward for Safe & Inclusive Cities 29 References 3 Introduction Historically, the concept of citizen safety has been paternalistic in nature and has often meant that exclusion or segregation was imposed on women, minorities or the poor for their supposed benefit (Wilson, 1992; Moser and McIlwaine, 2004). While the approach to women’s safety has evolved over the past two decades, in some respects, this framework of protectionism persists. It often manifests in the provision of gender-segregated services, safety apps with panic buttons, increase in CCTV presence or hike in policing of certain areas deemed ‘risk-prone’. While there are occasional positive outcomes of such initiatives in the short run, limited evidence exists on whether they contribute to more equitable access and ability to navigate public spaces for women (Perez, 2019). A rights-based approach, instead, frames safety as a determinant to access social and economic opportunities—where a lack of safety prevents women from fully exercising their right to the city.

  • Red Elephant Is So Called to Stand out As a Vehicle That Projects Stories That Must Never Be Forgotten
    Community Business is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to lead, inspire and support businesses to improve their positive impact on people and communities. Session Breaking the Culture of Silence Kapila- Hello everyone, thank you for joining this session, Breaking the Culture of Silence My name is Kapila Jaykumar and I am the moderator for this session, with our guest speakers, Kritisha Jain and Kirti Jayakumar. The theme of this conference is Impacting Positive Change, Challenging Assumptions and Disrupting the Norm. We recognize that when it comes to addressing inequalities and promoting inclusion, sometimes a bolder approach is required. Which is why we are so honored, thrilled and delighted to bring you this panel discussion on breaking the Culture of Silence In this session we are joined by two pioneering women who have taken bold steps to break the culture of silence surrounding enduring inequalities and limiting stereotypes about women in India. Kritisha Jain will talk about the disruptive #Iwillgoout movement and her subsequent ChalktheWalk campaign – both of which seek to assert the equal rights of women and challenge the men’s abuse of women. The#Iwillgoout social media campaign was started across 33 cities following the mass molestation of women on 2017 New Year’s Eve in Bengaluru. Thousands of women stepped out to send out a message that they have an equal rights to public spaces. Since then, the ‘I Will Go Out’ campaign has evolved. Now, women participating in the campaign do not just go out to protest and reclaim public spaces but also interact with men and try to understand what prompts them to attack, harass or rape.

    Kim by Rudyard Kipling Kim by Rudyard Kipling Prof. Patricia C. Franks, Chairperson Business Information Technology Department Karyl Basmajian, BIT Student Nancy K. Smith, BIT Student Broome Community College Front Street Binghamton, NY 13902 [email protected] With updates and fixes by Dave Bruchie. Kim by Rudyard Kipling Chapter I O ye who tread the Narrow Way page 1 / 505 By Tophet-flare to judgment Day, Be gentle when 'the heathen' pray To Buddha at Kamakura! Buddha at Kamakura. He sat, in defiance of municipal orders, astride the gun Zam Zammah on her brick platform opposite the old Ajaib-Gher - the Wonder House, as the natives call the Lahore Museum. Who hold Zam-Zammah, that 'fire-breathing dragon', hold the Punjab, for the great green-bronze piece is always first of the conqueror's loot. There was some justification for Kim - he had kicked Lala Dinanath's boy off the trunnions - since the English held the Punjab and Kim was English. Though he was burned black as any native; though he spoke the vernacular by preference, and his mother-tongue in a clipped uncertain sing-song; though he consorted on terms of perfect equality with the small boys of the bazar; Kim was white - a poor white of the very poorest. The half-caste woman who looked after him (she smoked opium, and pretended to keep a second-hand furniture shop by the square where the cheap cabs wait) told the missionaries that she was Kim's mother's sister; but his mother had been nursemaid in a Colonel's family and had married Kimball O'Hara, a young colour- sergeant of the Mavericks, an Irish regiment.

  • An Exploration of Non-Arranged Romantic Relationship Development Among Urban Young Adults in India
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by K-State Research Exchange FROM FRIENDS TO ROMANTIC PARTNERS: AN EXPLORATION OF NON-ARRANGED ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT AMONG URBAN YOUNG ADULTS IN INDIA by PRERANA DHARNIDHARKA B.A., Mumbai University, 2007 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Marriage and Family Therapy College of Human Ecology KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Amber Vennum Abstract The majority of scholarship on romantic relationship development in emerging adulthood is with Western populations using theories grounded in a Western cultural context. This study had two goals. The first goal was to explore the experience of non-arranged romantic relationships for young people in urban India through in-depth interviews with four men and four women. The second was to examine the relevance of Western notions of emerging adulthood, romantic relationship development, and theoretical constructs related to relationship development (e.g., terms such as ‘dating’, ‘commitment’ and ‘satisfaction’) for this population. Findings indicated one potential pathway to relationship formation that begins in friendship and gradually evolves into a romantic relationship. Other findings shed light on young adults’ culturally bound negotiation with their families around the issue of romantic relationships and the similarities in definitions of relationship terms with Western literature. This study makes important contributions to the growing field of romantic relationships in emerging adulthood by suggesting that, first, while Indian youth display several characteristics of emerging adulthood and define commitment similarly as in the West, there are important differences too.

    =================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 15:12 December 2015 =================================================================== English: A New ‘Basic Skill’ of 21st Century Globalized Civil Society Dr. Gautami Pawar, M.A., Ph.D. Sandip J. Nikam, M.A., B.Ed., SET., Ph.D. Candidate ============================================================================== Abstract We are living in the globalized 21st century, and the world has become a global village. English is the language of this world village. It is estimated that there would be around 2 billion users of English by the end of this decade. It is the age where interviews are being conducted on the telephone and the internet, and the Exams like IELTS and TOFEL are also being conducted online. Smartphones, tablets, I-pads and different gadgets are seen now everywhere. This paper is an attempt to throw some light on the status of English as a global language. Moreover, we shall take a review of the present status of English in India and refer to the question of how English has become a language of ‘basic skills’, as well as the major language of communication in today’s globalized world. Key Words: globalization, multilingualism, technological advancement, smartphones, tablets, I- pads, role of English, status of English in India. Multilingualism and Globalization Since this is the age of globalization, it is good to be multilingual for an individual. It always helps to explore new directions in terms of job opportunities, career advancements, and future prospects. Being students, knowing more languages is always advantageous and it may remain as a very distinct feature of one’s personality and that may lead to better future prospects as well.
