Attingal : The women’s liberation movement should also move for a social order that has dignity of labour and provides equal wages for women, said former minister and All India Democratic Women’s Association(AIDWA) national president and State Secretary J. Mercykutty Amma.

In the Manusmriti-based values of the RSS, there is no place for women and the injustices women face in the labour sector is result on following that ideology. Therefore, the first thing we must opposie is the divides on communal lines, said Mercykutty Amma.
