Bombay:
In Dhulia District, Maharashtra, over 2000 women participated in a working class women’s convention on the May Day this year. The Conference was organised by the Shramic Stree Mukti Sanghatana (Toiling Women’s Liberation Group) formed in Oct. 1980.
The Adivasi tribals constitute the majority of the toiling masses in this district and the Sanghatana has waged many struggles around the specific oppression of women: wife-beating, dowry, rape as well as economic exploitation and tribal oppression.
