International Women’s Day is observed on 8th March all over the world. The day was started being observed since 1911, one hundred and four years back.
Women are being discriminated in all spheres, whether at home, workspot, in wages, social status and what not. In addition they are sexually assaulted, molested and harassed. In the capitalist system, women is treated as a commodity. They do not have adequate representation in Parliament, legislatures and even at local level. The trade unions are also having only very few women leaders at decision making bodies.There is complete gender discrimination.
It is for the working class to take more interest in changing this unhappy situation. BSNL Employees Union is committed for gender equality, but not much has been done. In the BSNL, where about 25% of the workers are women, there is a very good scope to bring women leaders at all levels of the organisation. Let the International Women’s Day be observed with wide publicity and with firm decisions to ensure that women workers get justice – in the union activities also.
The Theme for the IWD for this year is “Inspiring Change”. Let us start the change for the better! The Central Executive Committee of BSNLEU has called upon the Circle/SSAs/Branches to observe the day in a befitting manner. Implement it effectively.

My Best Wishes and Greetings to all comrades and well wishers on this International Women’s Day!
It should be our combined efforts to ensure that the gender discrimination should be put an end to and equal status and opportunity for men and women should be there. The discrimination and injustice being meted out to the women should be put an end to. The sexual assaults, attacks etc on women should be dealt with maximum punishments.The women should be able to live a free and happy life.

8th March is being celebrated as International Women’s Day all over the world. This year it has got the added significance that it is the 100th year after the Day was started observing as the International Women’s Day.
While many women have got to the top position in politics, business, government jobs etc., the vast majority of the women are still the under-dogs in the society as well as at home. Women are compelled to suffer all kinds of humiliation and targeted by the male dominated society. Even among the organised sector, while wages, promotion etc. are equal, still there is discrimination.
The various women’s organisation in the country are waging continuous battle to ensure for an equal field for women. But that is not sufficient. The entrie society, man and woman, have to jointly work so that this inequality and discrimination are removed.
My Revolutionary Greetings and Best Wishes to all on the International Women’s Day!
