‘Help women in unorganised sector’

KOCHI: Women’s organisations should energetically work to resist the government’s move to haul the country into economic slavery and force managements and the governments to protect women’s rights, said Amarjit Kaur, secretary of All India Trade Union Congress, here on Sunday.

She was inaugurating an all-India women’s convention organised here as part of the silver jubilee celebrations of the Canara Bank Officers’ Union.

Organised workers and political parties should come forward to help women in the unorganised sector to make advancements in society, she added.

General secretary of National Federation of Indian Women Annie D. Raja said that women bank officers had a big role to play in helping India keep its economic independence. She said that public sector banks and industrial units had played a big role in India’s economic growth. They should be protected and allowed to grow.
