*Koi Na Aaya Akela (No One Has Come Alone) / (25 min)

In April 2008, more than 3000 single women from all over Himachal Pradesh
undertook a three-day padyatra to Shimla, to present a charter of demands to
the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh.

According to some estimates, there are more than two lakh single women in
Himachal Pradesh-widows, divorcees, unmarried beyond a certain age or
abandoned- women who live on the fringes and do not enjoy any entitlements.
Many of these women have organized themselves under the banner of Ekal Nari
Shakti Sangathan.

This padyatra was an attempt to exert pressure on the State to give them the
recognition that is rightfully due to them. *Koi Na Aaya Akela (No One Has
Come Alone) *tries to capture the indomitable spirit of these women during
the padyatra- their belief in themselves as they brave the odds to make
their voices heard in the echelons of power.


 *Frame Works Research and Media Collective, based in **New Delhi**, uses
interdisciplinary practices to explore development issues and social
processes. In working on these issues, they try and create an interface
between research practices and visual/other media like photography,
community radio, film and community art. Besides ethnographic, secondary
research and documentary films, Frame Works consciously adopts participatory
community-based models of research and media in their work. Frame Works
comprises of Ruchika Negi, Amit Mahanti and Subhashim Goswami**.*
