Half yearly Report for February 2011-August, 2011
Project Name: KANYA
Location: Bhati Kurd Village
Report Period: February 2011- August 2011
Situation of Bhati Khurd Village:
The community in Bhati Khurd is very closed in structure. The girl children of
these communities are never allowed to go out from home. Patriarchal system
within the family and community pushed the women to stay at home under close
doors. While the girl child is born to a family it is expected that she will be
getting married very soon and will be sent to in-laws house. The girl children
within the family are not allowed to go to school also. Apart from that, families
used to organize marriage to girl children in the age between 7yrs to 13 yrs. The
Women are never allowed to go out even for recreation, movie show etc. They
never participate in the process of family decision making. The only involvement
of women within the family is in house work and reproduction of children. The
concepts to educate children and to provide economic empowerment are totally
alien to the community.
