Tamil Nadu state unit of AIPWA took out an impressive rally of hundreds of women  at Thanjavur on 8th March, the International Women’s Day. The rally held after a long gap was led by Comrade Revathy, the state convener, flagged off by senior leader Santhana Mary and the public meeting was presided by Phelomena. The protestors condemned the continuing violence against women, demanded stern action against the culprits of sexual violence in various places and universities and release of innocent Dalits in Vengai Vayal incident.

The protestors criticised the Modi led BJP government’s conspiracy to replace the constitution with the anti-women Manu Smriti. CPIML State Secretary Asaithambi appealed to the women to turn 2025 into a year of women’s struggles. CPIML CC Member Comrade Balasundaram greeted the rally and called upon AIPWA to fight for fearless freedom, equal rights, equal remuneration and equal opportunity. The women’s rally kindled a lot of enthusiasm and ended with a determination to carry forward struggles against the reactionary, patriarchal, male chauvinist forces that uphold Sanatan Dharma and Manu Smriti.
