NTLN is a collective of organisations and individuals working to promote higher education, technical skills and advocate for gender sensitive markets for women and gender minorities to access and pursue non-traditional livelihood opportunities.
The network was formed in 2017, as the culmination of a three year journey of learning and dialogue among like-minded organisations. Initiated by Azad
Foundation, which currently holds the networks' secretariat, its members include 25 organisations and 7 individual members, with a six-member Steering Group to guide its agenda.
The NTL network aims to challenge the beliefs, practices, and policies that contribute to the exclusion of women from traditionally male dominated livelihoods due to gender-biased social norms, lack of knowledge and skills. It recognises that skill building requires an engendered approach that is rights based and focusses on transformative education and training (beyond technical skills). The network highlights the need for an adaptive market and ecosystem that supports women's workforce participation by addressing issues like unpaid care and domestic work, safety, and social security.
The network’s agenda is to promote NTL for women as a critical arena of mobilisation and advocacy in the overall context of women and work.
Non-Traditional Livelihoods are defined as “livelihood practices that help
women break stereotypes emerging from the intersections of gender, caste,
class, religion, sexual orientation, disabilities and other marginalities, and
oppressive structures, within a dynamic context of space and time.
Non-traditional livelihoods increase the set of viable livelihood choices
available to women and give them access and control over skills,
technology, market, mobility and resources. They create economic stability
along with psychological, social and political empowerment. Some
examples of the same include training women to become drivers,
masons, electricians, etc.”
