Way Forward
Stree Shakti- The Parallel Force envisages taking the SAFAW initiative to other
countries in South Asia.
The following is a vision of events and activities to strengthen the South Asia
network and give the issue of ‘Women and Ageing’ a greater voice:
- Collaborate with countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore and Thailand to form a stronger South Asia Forum
- Identify innovation of services provided or policy implementation to help elderly
women in these countries and document them as good practices
- Host Round Table Meetings in, Nepal, Bangkok and Singapore to begin interface with
China to take the issue of women and ageing beyond South Asia and build an interface
with China
- Organize a Photographic Exhibition of “Women and Ageing in South Asian Countries”
to raise awareness and advocate for their cause
- Disseminate the findings of the work done by all the countries represented in the
South Asia Forum in the next IFA conference to be held in Brisbane, Australia, 2016.
