Workshop on legal awareness for women workers under way in Madurai on Sunday.
Justice Shivaraj V. Patil Foundation, Action Aid Association, India, and John Lewis Foundation, organised a workshop to create legal awareness among women garment workers, here on Sunday.
Managing Trustee of SOCO Trust S. Selva Gomathi delivered the presidential address. Journalist Bharathi Anand, who spoke at the event, said unorganised women workers, especially those who are in the garment sector, must raise their voice in unison to protect their rights. The equality between men and women begins from families. Parents must not discriminate between their sons and daughters. They must treat them equally, she said.

Assistant Commissioner of Police T.K. Lilly Grace urged students to be brave and stand up for their rights, at a five-day awareness programme at the Justice Shivaraj V. Patil Foundation here on Saturday.
The awareness programme ‘Walk with dignity - stand up for our rights’ was inaugurated to enlighten students particularly girls on adolescence, physical and mental health issues.
She asked the students to confide in a trustworthy adult when uncomfortable over any circumstance or issue they faced so that the issue can be addressed appropriately.
