Dances by the tribal Cunbi women groups from Paroda and Tilamol in Quepem highlighted the hard work done by women in the mining sector, in agriculture, and the raw deal that the women received at work and at home. Rivonche Ostori Vani presented a mando and dulpods on the theme of women's unity at all times and trying situations.

[Goanet] Press release to Saad
9th October, 2005. Bailancho Saad has stated that the recent incidents in the casino are symbolic of the lawlessness of casino operators. Bailancho Saad has further pointed out that the history of the casinos in Goa is in fact a saga of lawlessness, with the effective patronage of successive Governments. The Saad has taken objection to the statement by Mr.Sunder Advani of Casino Caravela in the visual media that gambling is not yet socially acceptable, implying an intention to make it so. The Saad has pointed out that the public in Goa and more particularly women will never allow casinos to become socially acceptable. The Saad has reminded that in fact the present Chief Minister under whose rule the amendments to the Goa Public Gambling Act were passed permitting casinos had been compelled by the swelling agitation led by the women's movement then to commit that he would not issue a licence for any casino. That the casinos enjoy substantial political clout was established when the subsequent Sardinha Government actually issued a licence for an offshore casino. The casinos were further supported by the BJP Government. The Saad has stated that if the present Chief Minister is serious about the assurance he gave the women's movement, he should take lawlessness by the casinos seriously and repeal the amendments to the Goa Public Gambling Act permitting casinos. The Saad has stated that despite the Constitutional amendments for local self-Government Raj, there was no say sought of the Municipality or Panchayat on the matter of issuing a licence to any casino. Similarly, the Police and the Collectorate had no say in the matter as well. The Saad has stated that violations of legal provisions relating to Inland Waterways and operation of casinos in violation of the Goa Public Gambling (Prevention) Act and the Excise law and misrepresentation as to who are the owners and operators are the order of the day with casinos. The Saad has pointed out that thus it is apparent that lawlessness is inherent to casinos.The Saad has called upon the State to repeal the amendments permitting casinos forthwith, stating that Goa does not need casinos to promote tourism in Goa. The Saad has further stated that more and more questionable policies/legislation are being enacted to nullify the applicability of pro-people laws, including labour laws, in more and more areas and that this calls for serious introspection. A meeting of the anti-casino movement has been convened to take stock of the developments and draw up a further plan of action. For Bailancho Saad
[Goanet] PRESS RELEASE REGARDING MEETING TO PROTEST DEROGATORY REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN
PRESS RELEASE People from different parts of Goa converged at T.B.Cunha Hall on 23rd August on a call from Bailancho Saad to protest the derogatory representation of women in the advertisements and the objectionable projection of women in Goa in advertisements. The meeting took stock of the removal of advertisements following the campaign which sparked off after a barrage of derogatory advertisements in newspapers and hoardings appeared. Ms. Sabina Martins of Bailancho Saad informed about steps taken by Bailancho Saad. Ms. Martins further stated that the DIG had responded to the complaint lodged by Bailancho Saad stating that the matter had to be referred for legal opinion and that he had requested the companies to keep the ads on hold. Ms. Martins emphasised that neither should a taboo be created about a woman's sexuality nor should a woman be reduced to a sex object. The context in which a woman's body is used in an advertisement has to be seen, Ms. Martins stressed. Ms. Prashanti Talpankar enacted a monologue which poignantly raised the impressions with which tourists come to Goa on account of the imagery created by such advertisements. She further highlighted the assertion by various sections of women in Goa about their sense of self-esteem. Ms. Dipti Arolkar elaborated on the provisions in the law that could help book those responsible for such advertisements. Ms. Arolkar pointed out that even where there are ample provisions in the law, where they are not implemented the public is forced to mount pressure and keep up the spirit of the law. Dr. Pramod Dukle remarked that we should emulate the positive aspects of laws in other countries such as the UK ban on use of models for alcohol promotion. Various suggestions were made as to ways of taking the campaign forward. Prominent among them were a week-long concerted action programme to identify derogatory advertisements, create awareness and take action against thederogatory advertisements, besides critically looking at the implementation of the Indecent Representationof Women ( Prohibition) Act. For Bailancho Saad
[Goanet]Women's Day Programme
Women's Day Programme Women are taking their own steps, charting their own paths and redefining politics. This was apparent from the various presentations made at the programme organised by Bailancho Saad on the occasion of International Women 's Day. In the context of the ongoing political scenario, women voiced that power should not be about sticking to chairs but about collective empowerment of people. The theme Our Steps, Our Paths of International Women's Day emerged from the fact that women often find themselves posed with options either of which they do not wish to choose and want to define their own ways. Earlier women from different parts of Goa assembled at Ambedkar Garden, Panaji, and marched through the city winding their way through 18th June Road and the market and converged at Azad Maidan.. Students, housewives, agricultural workers, urban slum dwellers, professionals, working women all marched shoulder to shoulder voicing their concerns and demands loud and clear. No woman shall be beaten, no girl child shall remain unborn, stop drowning women in alcohol, no to casinos and golf courses, health, education, dignity and love - every girl child's right, Women's Unity, Zindabad' were some of the slogans that rent the air as several onlookers watched on. There is no peace in any war or fundamentalism or communalism, Ms. Pratibha Bapat emphasised in her keynote address. Deliberations held during the last year highlighted the inadequacies and changes required in family laws, tourism policy and health policy, Ms. Pratibha stated. Sharing the lessons of Bailancho Saad's No woman shall be beaten Campaign launched last year, Ms. Pratibha stated that while on the one hand, wife-beating was found to be widely prevalent, be it in urban or rural areas, on the other hand, the campaign got tremendous support from the men. However there were inadequate facilities to deal with the numerous complaints that the women were coming forth with, following the door to door campaign. Ms. Pratibha announced the intentions of Bailancho Saad to launch a model drop-in-centre for women, even as the demands for short stay homes and homes for women were reiterated. Self-defence courses, education on sex and sexuality, consciousness raising programmes for adolescents, interactive workshops for rural women, were some of the activities undertaken by Bailancho Saad and will be further stepped up, Ms. Pratibha added. A skit depicting the limitations of the Goa family laws, was enacted and a demand was made for changes in the law after due consultations with all women. Two fugdis, one from Morjim and one from Siolim highlighted the issues of alcoholism and price-rise and problems of access to health and water. Drawing attention to the rising AIDS infection amongst women due to increasing vulnerabilities such as violence and abuse, Ms. Vrunda Prabhu stated that adequate attention needs to be given to provide easy access to medicines and facilities for women who are dispossessed of their homes and livelihoods. She called on the women to call the Free Helpline No.1097 for information and assistance. Children from the Saad Alashiro Community Centre for Children highlighted the invasion of the media into the household to the extent of exclusion of human relationships and neighbourhood concerns. Discrimination and deprivation of rights of migrant women was the subject of a skit presented by Jan Ugahi from Margao. Poverty and violence should be eliminated from society and the world should be looked at from women's eyes, were the key phrases of a song melodiously rendered by Ms. Devyani Kerkar from Vasco. Ms. Vaishali Revodkar from Revora vocalised in song that there was no turning back for the women's movement. for Bailancho Saad --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hey Miguel, Excuse me.

Dear Sir, Can one really call a person, who is unwilling to come on record about his views on the Goan freedom struggle in a FREE Goa[ currently under a pro-hindu BJP dispensation] that is a part of an INDEPENDENT India, a FREEDOM FIGHTER? Such persons are better off wearing green and red glass bangles on their arms. If they cannot speak, the truth or otherwise, with their names on record in a country that enshrines the Freedom of Speech in its Constitution, they are unlikely to have dared to work against the dictatorial regime of antonio Oliviera de Salazar. The tamra patra that they have fraudulently obtained to benefit from the pension and reservation schemes should be returned to the Government. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[Goanet]BAILANCHO SAAD WOMENS DAY PROGRAMME
Protest against the increasing crimes against women and Government apathy, indifference to gender concerns in Government policies like education, health policies, and the State's development programmes which are anti-women resounded at the International Women's Day Programme organised by Bailancho Saad at Azad Maidan, Panaji. Cultural programmes highlighted these various concerns. To counter the increasing the increasing violence, Bailancho Saad announced the launching of the NO WOMEN WILL BE BEATEN CAMPAIGN. As part of this campaign, Bailancho Saad will form groups in the villages who will record the names of all those who beat women and approach these persons and impress upon them not to violate the human rights of women and take recourse to the law if the violence continues. Ms. Angela D'Souza announcing the launching of this campaign from Bardez, expressed the hope that in three years, the campaign would spread throughout Goa and no person would dare to beat women. Bailancho Saad also announced training programmes in self-defence to equip women to be mentally and physically equipped to deal with all kinds of violence, specially sexual violence. Ms. Seema Naik and Ms.Afrose Shaikh presented snippets of the self-defence training they had undergone appealed to the public to support the training. Ms. Aishwarya Bapat compering the programme lamented the declining sex ratio and boy-preference prevalent in society. Seven year old Sini Fernandes sang the dreams of a young girl child blossoming into a capable woman. Young girls from Saad Alashiro Mapusa Community Centre also sang the aspirations of a bright tomorrow. Ms. Sabina Martins from Bailancho Saad located the deteriorating crimes against women in the context of the State -induced erosion of women's rights in the country. Ms. Martins remarked that the Government apathy to introduction of measures essential to curb crimes against women was responsible for the rising crime graph. Ms. Martins also referred to the recently introduced Jammu and Kashmir Bill which seeks to further deprive the women of their citizenship, the non-passage of the reservation bill, acquittal of accused in sati glorification case. Ms. Martins further stated that while on the one hand the women were enabled to work at night due to a recent legislation, there were no enabling facilities like hostels and transport to make this possible. Ms. Cevelorna Torres once again reiterated the demand that family laws must be reviewed through consultative processes and animated skits through which there were responses on gender bias in existing succession laws in Goa. Baina Mahila Mandal, Arz and residents of Baina focussed on the circumstances under which women are forced into prostitution, the further victimisation and atrocities against these women by the police. The skit concluded with an appeal for decent livelihood and shelter for the women. The gathering condemned the harassment of NGOs working in the area. Caste prejudices prevalent in Goa were highlighted by the Savitri Phule Mahila Mandal and Bailancho Saad through a song and a talk on the activities that the Mandal has been doing to combat the problem. Rivona Ostorivani highlighted the contribution of women in paddy cultivation in this International Year of Rice. With lively music, the Ostorivani also musically highlighted the daily household chores of women. Rajani Redkar presented the initial findings of a study conducted by Bailancho Saad on the status of women in agriculture in Goa, which included the discrimination in work, wages, ownership. Ms. Pratibha Bapat presented the health concerns of women from childhood to adolescence to old age, which included lack of proper nutrition, neglect of women related diseases, depression. Ms. Vrunda Prabhu from Camurlim enlisted various schemes announced by the government which are either not tailored to the needs of women or are not reaching all women who deserve them. It was announced that a detailed analysis of where the self-help groups and micro-credit are headed will be done in the coming year. Ms. Albertina Almeida through various examples indicated how development was skewed in favour of profits for a few at the cost of the people particularly women. Ms. Almeida cited the instance of the International Film Festival being promoted for tourism, and referred to the statement of the Director General of Cannes Film Festival Kayla that development of a party atmosphere and floating casinos are necessary for the success of the Film festival. Ms. Almeida pointed out that already casinos and matka gambling due to non-implementation of the Gambling Act were wreaking enough havoc in women's lives in the State of Goa. A fugdi by the women from Morjim and a song by the students of Holy Rosary School from Nuvem, depicted the need for liberation of women from exploitation and social oppression. The Programme concluded with a reiteration of the demands of last year all of which remained
[Goanet]Appeal
Hi, You will have seen Bailancho Saad's invitation for the International Women's Day programme on 8th March at Azad Maidan from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.. It is our sincere endeavour to provide a platform for women from different parts of Goa to express their concerns and to ensure exchange of solidarity amongst the various sections of women. This has meant spilling out from the halls in which we had our programmes to the large Azad Maidan ground. Last year, when we held the programme at Azad Maidan, we had one major problem and that was the scorching heat of the sun. We thought that it is only appropriate that we should arrange for a pandal/shamiana so that those participating or attending are spared the scorching heat. Arrangements like these entail a lot of financial expense and we count on supporters to contribute to this. This is therefore an appeal for contribution towards the Women's Day programme which can either be made on the spot on International Women's Day or volunteered through the e-mail and we can get back to you as to how we could collect the same from you. Or alternatively, any contribution can be sent by money order or by cheque drawn in favour of BAILANCHO SAAD, SF-4, Goa Housing Board Residential and Commercial Complex, Journalist Colony, Alto Betim, Goa. albertina for Bailancho Saad --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
