For Equal
Rights; Equal Opportunities for all working women
Under the right wing regime of
the Modi led NDA government in the country attacks on the basic and fundamental
rights of all sections including minorities, dalits, women etc. have increased.
BJP ruled states like Haryana and Rajasthan are even denying the right to
contest in panchayat elections on the basis of literacy, number of children and
indebtedness etc. People are increasingly being attacked for not conforming to
the dictates of these communal forces on their eating, dressing and other
personal choices. All these are meant to deny the constitutionally guaranteed
rights of equal rights and equal opportunities to all citizens of the country
irrespective of their gender, caste or creed.
All state committees of Confederation
and its affiliated organisations must highlight all these aspects and issues
related to ‘Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities’ for women workers on this
occasion. All are requested to link these up with the neoliberal policies being
implemented by successive governments and the communal divisive ideology.
All State committees, District
committees and affiliated organisations are requested to take proper
organisational measures to ensure effective observance of International Women’s
Day, wherever possible, jointly with the state coordination committees of
working women. Efforts should be made for joint activities with fraternal
organisations including the women’s subcommittees of fraternal trade union
organisations in the planning and observance of the International Women’s Day
in a befitting manner.
