Thousands of women farmers especially from Punjab and Haryana will congregate at Delhi바카라s borders on Monday and the day will be entirely dedicated to women farmers, activists and students
Thousands of women farmers, students and activists will take over key roles at Delhi borders protest sites of Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur on International Women바카라s Day today. The women will lead the farmers바카라 protest which has crossed the 100-day-mark with every major task whether it바카라s managing the stage, food and security or sharing tales of their struggles, and the significance of taking part in the ongoing agitation.
Noting that women contribute significantly to the country바카라s farming sector, the organisers have laid out elaborate plans to let women farmers take centre stage and all the space under the sky to acknowledge the 바카라big but unrecognised바카라 part of the farming community.
Thousands of women farmers especially from Punjab and Haryana will congregate at Delhi바카라s borders on Monday and the day will be entirely dedicated to women farmers, activists and students, farmer leaders said.
Marked annually on March 8, International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
바카라To celebrate women's day, the stage will be managed by women, and the speakers too will be women. And there will be a small march at Singhu border, the details for which will be shared later. We are expecting more women to join at different protest sites,바카라 senior farmer leader Kavita Kurugranthy, who is also a member of the Samkyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), told PTI.
Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at the Delhi border points --- Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur --- for over three months, demanding the repeal of farm laws and a legal guarantee on the minimum support price (MSP) for their crops.
The protesting farmers have expressed apprehension that these laws would pave the way for the dismantling of the MSP system, leaving them at the "mercy" of big corporations.
However, the government has maintained that the new laws will bring better opportunities to farmers and introduce new technologies in agriculture.
On the occasion of International Women바카라s Day, around 15,000 women farmers along with college principals, teachers and social workers will join the protest sites at Singhu and Tikri borders, the organisers said.
바카라Women are a big part of the farming community but they don't get recognised. In fact, they work more than men. Approximately 10,000 women from different parts of Punjab and Haryana will come to the borders to be part of the women's day program,바카라 farmer leader Kulwant Singh Sandhu said.
Sandhu said they have also asked women, farmers, to join the different protest sites in Punjab and Haryana on the occasion.
Women protesters will talk about their rights, struggles and significance of participation in the movement at the two stages at the Tikri border, one of the organisers said.
바카라...Women will be taking over security roles at the Singhu border. Hundreds of women from different parts of Punjab are coming in vehicles and will join us at the borders tomorrow. We are expecting a gathering of around 15,000 people at Tikri and 4,000 people at Singhu to mark International Women's Day,바카라 said Jagmohan Singh of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Dakaunda), Punjab.
Farmer leader of Krantikari Kisan Union Avtar Singh Mehma also said that stage management at all borders will be done by women on the occasion of International Women바카라s Day.
바카라Those delivering speeches on the stage will also be women, whether they are from a student organisation, a farmer organisation or simply an organisation doing social work,바카라 Mehma said.
