Seminar for women’s Rights, employment and Gender issue

Through Art. 15 of the constitution prohibits discrimination against any citizen on the ground of religion, race, caste, or sex in reality the women in India are still considered to be inferior to men and their status is not equal to that of men. If the present social thinking and cultural ethos persist for some times, it may again take another century for women in India to get equal status as that of men.

To prepare women activists, social workers and women facilitators to take up advocacy work on a wider scale, a seminar was organized by AAP International in New Delhi in February 2001 where 35 women participants from various NGOs, Social Action Groups and Voluntary bodies attended.

Some of the points discussed during seminar were:

a. Women and minimum Wages Act.
