Tell us more about the initiative, The Citizen Next Door
Countless women take an active interest in their communities, volunteering time and energy in their housing society, charitable activities, parent-teacher associations, SHGs and other social causes. We see them everywhere. This time, the archives are inviting photographs (with stories) of women who are active in community welfare.
What is the basic idea behind it?
We intend to show how women have, historically, played an important role in community work concerned with social development and public welfare. It is not acknowledged very often.
What is the criteria for sending entries?
Entries may include both new and recent photographs as well as scanned, historical images. Contributions from across South Asia including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Myanmar are welcome.
