International women's Day greetings to all..

BSNLEU conveys revolutionary greetings to all the comrades on the occasion of International Women's Day. Women constitute one half of the population. However they are not being treated with equality. Equal pay for equal work still remains a distant dream for women in many sectors. Crimes against women has become the order of the day. 50 crimes are being committed against women every hour in India, according to the data released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB),  for the year 2022. 88 women are being raped every day. Out of these, 11 are Dalit women. One reason for the increasing crimes against women is that, most of those who commit the crimes against women escape scot-free, without any punishment. For example, as per the NCRB data, out of every 100 men who commit rape, 75 men escape without any punishment. The conviction rate is very low. This factor encourages crimes against women.  On the International Women's Day, let us resolve to treat women with dignity and equality.  It is the duty of the working class movement, to raise it's voice against all atrocities and inequalities being committed against women.
