*Invitation for a programme to celebrate *

*'Day for Women's Dignity'*





/Stree Adhikar Sangathan /is organising a Seminar and Cultural Programme 
on the occasion of /'Stree Samman Divas'/ ( Day for Women's Dignity) on 
20^th December at Tagore Hall, Delhi University, (North Campus) at 12 
noon. Leading Gujarati Poetess and activist *Ms saroop dhruv*, 
Litterateur-activist *Mudra rakshas* have agreed to participate in the 
discussion. Leading cultural troupes of the city have also agreed to 
present programmes to commemorate the occasion.

To underline the fact of the societal violence against women which 
continues unabated till date 'Stree Adhikar Sangathan' has been 
celebrating the day when /Manusmriti/ was burnt ( 25 December 1927) 
under the leadereship of Dr Ambedkar 79 years ago as a day for Women's 
Dignity since last four years.

It is a considered opinion of the Organisation / /Sangathan/ that today 
officially the Manusmriti might have been replaced by the more 
egalitarian Indian Constitution more than fifty years ago but at an 
informal level it continues to hold sway over the thinking and actions 
of a vast majority of the Indian people.

Taking into consideration the university calendar the programme is being 
organised on 20 th December itself.As part of this celebrations it has 
been decided to hold a seminar to discuss the topic *'Critique Of Our 
Culture : Resisting The System'* which would be followed by cultural 
programs.
