Women day celebration to pay homage to first woman teacher and crusader of women rights Savitribai Phule in Sonbhadra, UP क्रांतिज्योति सावित्रीबाई फुले पुण्यतिथि राष्ट्रीय महिला दिवस 10 मार्च 2015 दुद्धी, जनपद सोनभद्र उ0प्र0

Dear Friends, 

You all are cordially invited to Women celebration in various struggle area where All India Union of Forest Working people are active to mark the death annivarsary of first indian woman teacher and crusader of women rights Savitri Bai Phule in Sonbhadra UP on 10th march. Marking this day to save the "mother earth" from the corporate loot and passing of draconian Land acquisition Act we strongly feel that the struggle of saving the mother earth is intricately connected to the struggle of emancipation, freedom and dignity of woman who are more in symbiotic relationship with the nature. Land and women both are seen as a commodity to say in a very crude way and by coming of neo-liberal policies there is a rampant increase on onslaught of mother earth rights and raping of women simultaneously. This is not acceptab'ble anymore. Many people's organization, left unions and independent trade unions came together on Parliament street on 24th march 2015 to admonish the govt to stop the corporate loot of the natural resources especially land and gave the slogan of "save the mother earth". We feel that it the women who have to lead this struggle against the corporate loot as they only have the insight of fighting a long term struggle since the core of their struggle is their children who are the future of any nation. It is women dependent on these natural resources, dalit, tribal and poor women who have the political consciousness of challenging the state and they can also lead this struggle in a united way. In Kaimur region of UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh  Women are in the forefront to resist the corporate loot of the land and leading various struggle to get back their forest and land rights. On 10th march by paying their tribute to our great women leaders like Savitri Bai they are also resisting against the illegal land acquisition of 111 villages for the "Kanhar river Dam Project" coming in Dudhi area of District Sonbhadra and also against the illegal occupation of the Forest Department on the forest land. Many struggles are joining in this mass programme where attack on dalit women Shobha who still have not been rehabilitated by the administration and rapist kalwant aggarwal still roaming free will be raised. 

There will be a mass rally in Dudhi area and a public meeting. The hindi handbill is attached. Pl join in large numbers and challenge the illegal bills, orders and ordinances passed by the Govt on natural resources.
