Kudumbashree auxiliary groups to spearhead the campaign titled Sthreepaksha Navakeralam
A month after their formation, as many as 1,830 auxiliary groups of the District Kudumbashree Mission are all set to spearhead the more than three-month-long campaign, Sthreepaksha Navakeralam, aimed at sensitising society to the menace of dowry and atrocities against women, including domestic violence.
The district-level launch of the State-wide campaign, which will last till March 8, will be held at Pension Bhavan at Athani on Saturday.
Kudumbashree formed the auxiliary groups targeting women from the relatively younger age group of 18-40 years. They are also aimed at overcoming the existing hurdle limiting Kudumbashree membership to just one person from a family. “Auxiliary groups will facilitate the seamless transition of those who joined the Kudumbashree over two decades ago, when it was launched, and are now in their advanced age by a younger lot. Besides, members of auxiliary groups are expected to be more effective in a campaign aimed at bringing about an attitudinal change in the new generation,” said Shine T. Money, district programme manager (gender), Kudumbashree.
