This scholarship enabled me to conduct my examination paper in Social and Economic Geography at the University of Madras, India. For two months I did a Minor Field Study in the slums of Madras, where I interviewd poor women about their working opportunities. I have put this report, "The Vicious Circle of Poverty - A Gender Aware Approach" on the Internet.
