While addressing the participants, Roma Wani said that women are the fundamental section of the entire human society, no human society can emerge without women and therefore any injustice with this vital section of the society should not be tolerated. In her appeal she stressed that all members of the society unite to work for the upliftment of women.
The programme was facilitated by the Administrative Secretary of IRCS JK, M Ashraf Wani. In his welcome address, wani said that despite seemingly much empowerment of women statistics still suggest that women by and large are still socially and economically marginalized in our society. |
