Thank you, Deepa. Agree entirely on the Women's Day tokenism issue. I tried to address that in the piece which ET would have preferred to be slanted towards *why women are better suited to ngo careers than men are*.
This misguided belief and the general perception of NGO-wallahs as either, unkempt, khadi-clad revolutionaries OR silk-sheathed socialites is a real barrier to sane people considering jobs in the sector. I could mail the text or a scanned copy to anyone here who is interested. On 3/8/07, Deepa Mohan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is specifically to Ingrid Srinath, whose email id I can't remember... I liked your article in today's Economic Times. I don't know where else and on what topics you have written; and I am not, in general, very keen on the tokenism of Women's Day; but I agreed with what you said, about management -skill requirements being as high in an NGO as anywhere else.
