One of the most heartening experiences I had is visiting some of the V I women from rural areas who take training in independent living skills from Mitrajyothi here in Bangalore. Meeting them, it is quite clear how far lack of freedom can affect women. Some of them mentioned with pride how learning to live independently can transform their lives. For example, I met a woman who wasn't allowed to step out of her house for the best part of her 36 year existence expressed her desire to work and live for herself. Of course one organisation can touch a few women like her, but the difference such training can make is there for all of us to see.

My friend is going to present a seminar paper on the topic "The need for blind women empowerment". As you all know, marginalization against V.I. women is far worse than that against V.I. men. We'd like to focus mainly on the following things. A comparison between vi women in India and abroad, the psychological stress inflicted up on a VI woman due to marginalization in family, society and even in our own community.we'd also like to emphasize the need for becoming a respectable member in the society only for survival etc. I request you to provide us with valuable points, informations and experiences and there by enrich our attempt. Besides, inform me about the organizations for V.I. women both at national and international levels. Is there any law in favour of P.H. or V.I. woman. What are the things that can be demanded from the government. I hope your kind cooperation in this regard. My ID is jol...@gmail.com GOOD FRIENDSHIP IS LIKE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EYE & HAND!
