"Take possible steps to stop women migrate for foreign employment", says Chandrani Bandara, minister women's affairs

BThe National Fisher Women Federation celebrated women's day in Colombo today. "Let us contribute to establish a women's policy" was the theme selected to the event as women executive committee decided. 

The policy dialogue was launched with the campaign launched on 1st October 2015 symbolizing the protest against the child abuse of Seya Dewmini last year. NAFSO had launched a signature campaign which was targeted 10,000 signatures and the same was handed over to the women's minister.
The compiled proposals on women's policy which were collected from grass root women and women's groups among 13 districts were also handed over to the women's miniater. The socio, economic, cultural, legal, education, health and political are the main subjects we proposed in the policy document of women's federation. After receiving the policy document and the 10,000 signatures Chandrani Bandara, the women affairs minister said, "We know the issues of migrated women's families and the difficulties of the children. We are taking all possible efforts to reduce the number of women migrate to foreign 

Countries while providing employment opportunities locally." 
"We have approached many groups to seek possible support to this work, including UN WOMEN organization" added mrs. Bandara at the event.
