Bengaluru: The Karnataka state committee of the All India Mahila Samskrutika Sanghatane (AIMSS) organised a state-level convention on crimes against women and children at the Gandhi Bhavan here on Wednesday.
The convention revolved around the theme of “bringing a change in the system”.
Speaking at the event, popular theatre artiste Rameshwari Verma expressed serious concern at the present scenario where crimes against women were becoming more grotesque, perverse and ghastly.
The state secretary of SUCI (C), K Uma, stressed the need for women to speak up.
“Today’s society has reduced women to a commodity to satisfy male desire. Her real virtue, her values and knowledge are not recognised at all,” she said.
Uma called upon womenfolk to be more and more organised and raise their voice for rightful equality and bring in a cultural change in society.
