Gender inequality in India
I believe it will be important to understand the greater issue of gender inequality as a whole in India as Saheli Women serves low-income women. This initiative, along with others, indicates an effort to move towards implementing gender equity. I would like to expand on recent trends and changes in attitude, if any, and how this has affected relations.

Economy of Rajasthan
As the work of IPHD and Saheli Women centers around providing women from low-income families with fair paying jobs, I think it is important to understand the economic makeup of the region, what industries, most people work in, and the prevalence of poverty and low-income workers. This article is rather brief and has sections on mining and tourism but no mention of people’s socioeconomic status.

Gender pay gap in India
Since I will be working on the Saheli Project of IPHD which serves low income women, I think it will be important to learn how pay differs across industries and gender in India, as well as what the disparities are within the manufacturing industry specifically. I believe I can add more information on the manufacturing industry to this article, since there is mention of the agriculture industry, but not of manufacturing, where women and men hold different jobs that reinforce power dynamics.

Fair Trade
This is a rather long article with lots of information that needs to be broken up. Right now, it encompasses both food and textiles and I wish to separate these two. I would like to work on this article as it would help me gain a greater understanding of what fair trade is, the process of manufacturing and sourcing as well as its implications.
