Women Struggle in A&N Islands

Some eighty years ago, Ambedkar had warned us 'if Hindu Raj becomes a fact, it will, no doubt, be the greatest calamity for this country' and he could not have been more prophetic.

AIPWA President Rati Rao visited the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 27-29 September and held meetings with women who have been organising against spousal desertion and domestic violence under the banner of the ‘Mahila Suraksha Sangathan, A&N Islands’.

S Anandi of the Mahila Suraksha Sangathan, NKP Nair of the CPI(ML), as well as Comrade Rati Rao met with many victims of desertion and domestic violence, and also met various authorities to demand justice and support for the affected women.
