International Day of Rural Women October 15th, 2024

women leaders met to remember the international Day of Rural Women on October 15th Distributed handbills in Tamil to the public. Women do not own land, resources. Women are not recognized as farmers. Women’s contribution in Agriculture is invisible, underpaid and unrecognized. Women do not enjoy basic rights, which is violated, denied, not getting equal wages, and no access to social security. Women’s work is informal, unprotected and exploited.

• Recognize women as Farmers

• Women demand equal and minimum wages

• Women ask access to Land for collective farm, credit, resources related to Food production and access to government schemes
