Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
The Tibetan Women’s Association (TWA) based in Dharamshala has celebrated its 35th anniversary. The TWA was re-established in exile in 1984; its origins are in the women’s response to the Chinese crackdown in Lhasa after the Tibetan National Uprising in 1959. The organisation’s President, Dolma Yangchen, said, “Now is the time for young and educated Tibetan women to spearhead the movement forward on the rock-solid foundations”.
