International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8 to honour the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world. It is also a day to raise awareness about gender equality and women's rights, as well as a call for action to accelerate the progress.
On this occasion meetings were held with migrant labourer women at all the brick fields where Apna Skool centres are functioning. Our teachers and coordinators addressed the gatherings and brought awareness on various issues related to the women, highlighting about women's rights and how to get those rights at the domestic level. They discussed the importance of general health and hygiene, family planning, consumption of healthy food and proper diet. Regarding education, they were asked to motivate their children to study well and continue the studies when they return to their villages, encourage their girl children in particular, to get enrolled in Kasturba Gandhi Residential Schools. They also motivated the
women to start saving money which is a good practice and will become helpful at needy times.
