Vividha is a women's documentation and resource centre established in 1998. As the women's movement in Rajasthan became more intense and broader based in membership, the need for an information and resource centre became increasingly pressing. All good movements and campaigns need support of a dynamic resource centre. With a constant flow of requests for data, references, literature, news clippings, updates on cases and case histories.
It is in this context some of the activists came together to initiate this resource centre. Vividha is a collective for critical and creative consultations on women's and other contemporary relevant issues that effect women's lives. It was formed of activists who had been providing assistance with investigations, legal aid, shelter and advocacy - its members are actively involved with other movements, campaigns of Rajasthan and they are actively writing and publishing to influence public opinion through press and other media.
