  • Women, mostly illiterate, are key leaders of the disaster management team in Dhararghat, a village located near the Brahmaputra River in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. Church-based groups have worked with residents here to survive the ravages of flooding, build roads and schools, and to form a DMT to help the community learn to live with worsening flooding. The teams are often the first opportunity for the village's women to participate in organized community life, and the groups have taken on other issues--such as domestic violence--that affect the daily life of the village's families.
