Abstract

The tsunami of 26 December 2004 has devastated the coastal communities over long stretches of Tamil Nadu, killing thousands, destroying houses, boats, fishing gear, agricultural lands and salt pans, and wiping out millions of livelihoods. Nearly a month after the killer waves hit, the National Commission for Women and the Tamil Nadu State Commission for Women, held, on 20 January 2005, an interaction with tsunami victims and civil society organizations working among them, to formulate recommendations for relief, rehabilitation and restoration of livelihoods in the affected areas.
