At the end of January, the 3rd All India Women’s Conference will take place in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. Organized by AIMSS, the All India Mahila Sanskritik Sanghatane, this gathering will include women from across India, as well as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal, along with other international delegations.
Among them will be two revolutionaries from the United States, LeiLani Dowell, a Workers World newspaper managing editor from New York City, representing Workers World Party, and Elena Everett, a youth-oriented organizer and WWP activist from Durham, N.C. She is also an International Action Center organizer.
AIMSS calls the Jan. 29-31 conference “a unique event. … solemn in its purpose, yet bubbling with a new enthusiasm. … Fighting women from all walks of life will come together with a deep conviction that the life of women shall be changed for the better; that all the age old fetters be broken, that the ghosts of newer problems shall be exorcised. For this, a new, vigorous, blazing program of action shall be charted.” (aimsswomensconference.org)
