Manushi Trust |
|
Manushi, a non-profit organisation,
was founded in 1978. In 1979, we created Manushi
Trust as a legal entity responsible for
the organisation’s financial and overall
management.
The
activities of Manushi Trust include but are not
confined to:
a) |
Publishing a bimonthly magazine called
Manushi - A Journal About
Women and Society as well
as produce educational booklets, books
and films on important issues. From 1979
to 1987, we also published a Hindi edition
of Manushi,
which had to be closed down due to paucity
of resources. |
b) |
Undertaking research and investigation
on important social, economic and political
issues that help us accurately understand
the life-situations of the people of our
country, especially of women and vulnerable
communities. |
c) |
Providing a non-partisan forum for debate
on important social and political issues
and exploring the changes required in
the social, cultural, political and economic
institutions of our society that have
the potential to strengthen democratic
culture, bridge the rural-urban divide
and alleviate the exploitation of women,
minorities, the poor and other disadvantaged
groups. |
d) |
Promoting greater understanding of and
respect for our diverse cultures and religious
traditions by undertaking inquiries that
will counter the distortion of our past
heritage, improve our understanding of
our present and make our familial, cultural
and social institutions respond creatively
to the changing requirements of our people. |

We
welcome volunteers and interns to assist with
the work of the journal as well as for undertaking
special investigations. For more details see
volunteers/interns,
email us at interns@manushi-india.org.
Manushi Trust is crucially dependent on its
readers and supporters for its survival. Since
this is an ad free, non-commercial journal,
it can survive only as long as our readers consider
it their very own and take part in the endeavour
to enhance its outreach and provide it a sound
institutional base.
It has survived thus far mainly on the basis
of voluntary work and financial support from
individual well wishers. We urge Manushi
readers to play an active part in shaping its
future.

Lines, Delhi 110054.
