TDMS
has, due to the perseverance of its
members and office bearers, been able to
approach the problems of social change
with a multidimensional all encompassing
vision. The fact that the TDMS has
worked diligently for over 80 years
gives it a vast outreach at the
grassroots level, therefore it would not
be erroneous to say that it occupies and
exclusive and advantageous position of
influence.
At
the national level, TDMS spearheaded the
preparations for the Beijing
Conference and was instrumental in
bringing the voices of the women of
North East India and a wide spectrum of
gender issues to the international arena
in 1995. TDMS enabled participation from
the region at all preparatory meetings-
national and international and at the
Beijing Conference itself. |
