Women's Commission chief urges womenfolk to voice their grievances

February 25, 2011

Mangalore, February 25: Assuring to put an end to all types of atrocities against women, Karnataka State Women's Commission chief C Manjula on Friday said that swift action would be taken, if any complaint or grievance letter is sent to the Commission, from any girl or woman from any corner of the state.

She was speaking after inaugurating “Maardani”, a girl students' awareness conference organized by the Mangalore unit of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad at Town Hall here.

“If you are a victim of atrocity, it is not necessary to visit my office to express your grievance. You can just write to my Commission explaining your problem, I will make all arrangements to provide you immediate protection” said the newly appointed chairperson.

“Do not hesitate to write to the Commission if you are facing any problem in this male dominated society,” she reiterated adding that there are various categories to file cases against the accused as far as atrocities on women are concerned. “College going girls too can write to the Commission directly if they are facing any problem from their male counterparts or seniors,” she said.

Manjula said the Women's Commission, has received around 230 complaints from various parts of the state after she took charge as its President nearly one and a half month ago.

Empowered

Congratulating Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa for earmarking Rs 5 crore for the Women's Commission in the recent budget, Manjula said that the panel has been empowered by the bold step taken by the CM.

Women trafficking:


Expressing concern over the menace of women trafficking, which according to her is widespread in coastal Karnataka, she urged the womenfolk not to fall prey to the conspiracies hatched by men.

Love tragedies

Exhorting the college going students to be cautious about their present and future life, Manjuala pointed that a considerable number of complaint her Commission has received, is about love tragedies.

Warning about the grave consequences of love, she said “if love stories break up after a boy gets physically close to the girl, some end up in tragedy even after the marriage.”

A girl has to be very careful in this society, which is has been spoiled by the invasion of western culture, which degrades women into mere a commodity, she said.


Zilla Panchayat President Shailaja Bhat KT presided over the inaugural session of the programme.
