Abstract/Summary
This Research study focuses on the non-governmental organization called Third World Movement Against Exploitation of Women's (TW-MAE-W) development work programs and its women prostitute clients. This study shows how effective the organization has implemented its development work programs as well as the results of its implementation by basing it on the clients' change of lifestyle and livelihood. The study also discusses the reactions of the women clients in terms of the development work programs they have gone through and the organization in general.
Furthermore, the study also looks on the organization and its clients in parallel to the criterion and ideals of Women and Development, the framework used to evaluate the programs. The matching of the organization's programs to the criterion of the framework as well as the matching of the women clients from the organization to the ideal women the framework wants for society proves that the organization is following the ideals of the framework but its application of its programs are not enough to create women who will be fit enough to create an alternative lifestyle and livelihood for themselves. Adding to this is the incapacity of the organization to fully assess themselves in term of their performances and results which leads to the problem of the latter to develop themselves so as to make the organization in general more effective in delivering its services.
It was so concluded by this study that the programs developed by this organization for women prostitutes are appropriate but it is not able to pursue its objectives if the organization itself cannot give the proper span of time to deliver its services as well as develop themselves to be stable and efficient.
Finally the study gives a glimpse of the lives of the women clients during and after the training in the organization. Although the study was not able to provide much information from the women prostitutes and the women who have gone through the programs and lives away from the centers, interviews from facilitators and case studies made by the researcher support the claims of the few women prostitutes as well as the information given in this study.
