08th MARCH 2017 -- OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2017 IN A BEFITTING MANNER. -- TOPIC "WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT AND EMPOWERMENT".

The topic for International Women's Day this year has been decided as "Women's Employment and Empowerment."

The country is witnessing one of its lowest work participation rate of women. With the continuing agrarian crisis and now the reverse migration due to industrial slow down after demonitisation , even those women who were earlier employed are forced to go for poorly paid work for subsistence. The demand for decent work and decent wages are at the centre of our demands. The "empowerment " of women in all aspects is related to the "employment" of women and it's quality. The policy pursued by the present day regime can create only unemployment and distress.

National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers Calls upon all affiliated organisations and C-O-Cs and Women's Sub Committees to take proper organisational measures to ensure effective observance of the International Women's Day jointly with other fraternal organisations.
