Women Committee of United NGO Mission convenor Sobita Mangshatabam said 65 years after independence, women of the Nation are still fighting for their freedom and rights.
The cases of domestic violence and rape are climbing in the State.
Moreover, pregnancy and women health in general are not given much importance as it deserves.
The recently concluded State Assembly sessions failed to include welfare schemes for women.
Such negligence by the higher authorities are one factor that promotes crimes against women, Sobita stated.
Deliberating the need to end crime against women and children, the speakers of the function also stressed on various points in order to uplift the social status of women.
The programme was attended by more than 500 people from all districts of the State.
