My name is Shenbagavalli. Today we attended the meeting in PTS Chrompet office. Sujata mam, Dhanalakshmi mam, Palani bharati mam were present there. Being a women union and now its an election season, so they have sent a notice that all women will raise the voice against this Pollachi rape case. So we all women should keep it mind that we need a leader who gives importance for women safety. Sowe have accepted this notice completely and in our areas, we will give clear explanation.
I have come to PTS. I have come from Thoraipakkam branch. Here they have given many awareness about Pollachi issue and other things. Sujata, Dhanalakshmi mam and Sumathi mam have given awareness to us on how women should and they also said that women should not be weak. Through PTS today i learnt many important things.
I am Palani bharati. Today there is flash news in Dina thani news channel and many are watching it. In that one of the women commission's head has commented that, women should follow self-discipline only then such crimes can be stopped. You have to tell me that commenting such things that too by a head of women's commission is right or wrong!! Its not about what she said is right or wrong, many men are saying the same thing. We are continually hearing such such lame things disgracing women. SO i want you to say your comments here. Press 3 and say your comments. Thank you
My name is Dilli. We have come to Delhi on behalf of GAFWU. An organisation named Sky is conducting a conference. 5 countries are involved here. They spoke well on How to grow union, how to add members and reach them etc. Now we are leaving. We came by flight and we are returning by flight. This itself is a victory for us. Its not an easy thing for garment workers to travel by flight. We have got this opportunity through GAFWU. We will do everything for union's growth.
I am Sumathi from PTS. We are all participating from our PTS. We are also voicing out for Pollachi rape case. Thank you
