National
Mission
Call For Existing Reports / Research Papers
The Gender Rights,
Gender based Violence and Law Enforcement Domain of the National Mission for
Empowerment of Women (MoWCD, GOI) is conducting “An in-house critical
assessment of existing laws, policies, practices and implementation regimes
impacting women and their participation in the labour workforce to develop
convergence strategies/models to encourage their increased participation and
retention.”
The objective of the critical assessment is to 1) identify lacunae in the existing law, policy and implementation regime, if any 2) identify opportunities for convergence within existing laws, policies and their implementing bodies, authorities and other agencies and 3) develop policy prescriptions for models/strategies for achieving such convergence which can be shared with the relevant authorities.
This critical assessment aims for a wide coverage of both organized and unorganized workforce in private as well as government undertakings and also including self employed/ad-hoc/contractual labour. Within this, the critical assessment shall cover:
a) Laws/Policies/Practices that affect working hours/flexible timings for women;
b) Laws/Policies/Practicesthat affect equal remuneration and minimum wages;
c) Laws/Policies/Practicesthat affect maternity benefits; crèche facilities; social security benefits; health / disability/ and old age benefits; safety / security/ and compensation for accidents;
d) Laws/Policies/Practices that affect sexual harassment at the workplace and gender bias in recruitment and professional policies;
e) Laws/Policies/Practices that affect double burden (as women and as women workers); invisible’ / unpaid work for women workers.
f) Laws/Policies/Practices that impact women’s choices on the nature of their employment/participation in the labour workforce.
g) Laws/Policies/Practices concerning occupational health and safety for women in the work place.
h) Laws/Policies/Practices concerning child labour with emphasis on the girl child
i) Laws/Policies/Practices concerning women and their representation and participation in trade unions.
Recognizing that there are already many studies that have been done in the subject areas, the first step under this research project is to collate existing materials/studies. In order to do this, reports/research papers etc. conducted or prepared in the last five years on any aspect of the above areas are hereby invited for submission.
The submitted reports/papers shall be assessed, filtered and selected by an internal committee of the NMEW. The non-institutional authors of selected reports/papers shall be paid an honorarium. Selected reports/papers shall be compiled and shall form a base document for further actions in the critical assessment and the authors of the same shall be attributed wherever possible.
Submitted papers should be complete with annexures. The cover page should clearly identify the title of the paper, the authors, the areas of research and funding agency, if any. The papers must be submitted in soft copy as a word document and emailed to
nmew.gr@gmail.com
no later than 14th September. Only the submitters of selected reports/papers will be contacted.
