Tamil Nadu Women's Forum organises fact-finding missions to unearth real
facts behind the atrocities and violations since the truth often is suppressed
by the perpetrators and by the law-enforcing agencies. TNWF shares the
report with concerned forums and enables the victims to get access to justice.
|
|
Methodology of fact finding research
Active journalists, advocates, activists, volunteers from the forum will
be sent to the areas to study the situations where violations have occured.
The team normally consists of 5 members. TNWF has undertaken the fact-findings
of following cases;
|
|
- Caste atrocities on Dalit women in Southern Districts of Tamil Nadu
- Custodial death and violences
- Sexual violence on women and children
- Violence against women
- Communal riots
- Safe working conditions in factories
- Bonded labours, etc...

Information sharing and documentation
Rare and valuable information on women's rights, women's issues, policy
changes, and schemes are collected and documented from primary and secondary
resources. Violence against women are also documented. The compiled studies
and the fact-finding reports are also documented and kept ready for easy
retrieval. TNWF's documentation centre has a varied range of collections
of information on violence against women, legal rights, communalism, neo-economic
policy, health and reproductive rights, gender relations, women's education,
trafficking, sex tourism, single women, terrorism. etc...

TNWF brings out publications to support the groups on thematic updation
of knowledge and skills. Important national and international information
based on the documentation are brought out as background materials for
the trainings, workshops, and seminars. They are issued to the participants
from the women's and Dalit's groups. Important information on policy changes
that affect the rights of women are shared with the groups in Tamil Nadu.
Information on Globalisation, communalism, food security, international
initiatives on women, health, education, and environment are also shared
with the women's groups at local, national, and international levels. Grassroots
awareness is created on the information that affect the people of the country
in general, and women in particular.
- Normally, the publications are supplied to the groups free of cost. However,
few publications are charged.
