dc.description.abstractRural women working as skilled workers in the habitat and construction sector are a relatively new phenomenon. This report provides details of the project which included organisations: The Barefoot College, The Jeevapoorna Women Masons Society (JEEWOMS), SEWA Nirman, Tilothu Mahila Mandal (TMM), Darshna Mahila Kalyan Samiti (DMKS), Costford and Archana Women’s Society. Women tend to work within their local communities, contributing to local economic development. Analysis of the local situation in Kerala indicates that women masons are able to bridge the gap left by male masons who migrate to the gulf for construction work.en
