Provide fisherwomen with ID cards plea byNational Coastal Women’s Movement


Chennai:
National Coastal Movement has urged Tamil Nadu government to recognize fisherwomen as workers and provide them with fisheries department identification card and enlist them as members of fisher welfare board.

Speaking at a seminar to mark International Rural Women’s Day here on Friday, Valli Gopal, secretary of the Siga Community Service Guild, Forum for Securing Land and Livelihood Rights Virgil D Swamy and National Coastal Movement Chamundeeswari also highlighted the need to provide fisherwomen with compensation during non-fishing.

The women speakers also highlighted that the government turns a blind eye towards the needs of women during disaster. “It is only the men who get compensation,” they rued.

A resolution which was passed by National Coastal Movement also stressed the need for an insurance package of Rs one lakh for coastal women meeting with fatal accident and proper compensation for loss of limbs.

It also suggested pension scheme to be enforced for all single women workers without having any age limit and for all fisher women from the age of 55.

Also present on the occasion were Esther Willliams and Jacinta Chitra of Action Aid.
