‘Jaagriti,’

Support Group promotes welfare of Asian women
By Staff Reporter of Indian News Link 15/05/2011 11:29:00  

‘Jaagriti,’ (Awakening) Women Support Group a social welfare organisation focusing on promoting the unrepresented interests of women of Asian origin has changed its name to reflect the need for their proactive participation in community affairs.
‘Saheli’ (Friend) has now become ‘Jaagriti,’ (Awakening) to encourage women to raise their voice against their oppression, physical, mental and sexual abuse, family violence and better representation in the society.
Roopa Suchdev, Chairperson of ‘Roopa Aur Aap Charitable Trust,’ which manages ‘Jaagriti,’ said that despite their education and emancipation, many women continued to be victims of harassment and unreported crimes against them.
“Even before ‘Saheli’ was established in 2009 as the Women’s Wing of the Trust, we were providing (through Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust), a series of support services to women, who were unfortunate victims of domestic harassment.
“We have had cases of women beaten up by their husbands and in-laws for failing to obtain cash or jewellery continuously from their parents.
“Apart from such despicable practices, women have also been subject to work both outside and inside their homes,” she said.
Ms Suchdev said such sufferings were highly irregular and unacceptable in New Zealand, which prides itself of providing equal rights and opportunities for women.
“Over the years, we have focused on these issues through Roopa Aur Aap TV programme and community gatherings. We seek the support of like-minded people to continue engagement with the communities concerned to address issues of importance. We propose to organise workshops and seminars on Prevention of Family Violence, Handling Relationships and Education Awareness Programmes,” she said.
‘Jaagriti’ will also empower women by making them aware of their legal rights and obligations, managing finances, securing jobs and promoting health issues, she said.
For further details, call Roopa Suchdev on (09) 4435622 or 021-665609.

Made deep cuts to Working for Families

Today, National delivered a Budget that will hurt hard-working Kiwis already struggling to get ahead but won’t fix our dire economic situation.
Their Budget:
Confirmed asset sales
Undermined the future of KiwiSaver
Made deep cuts to Working for Families
Identified future cuts worth $1 billion in the public sector
Many Kiwi families are struggling to get ahead.
They are having a hard time putting food on the table, petrol in the car and keeping their homes warm. They’re worried that that one in four young New Zealanders are out of work and losing hope.
 
What the country needed was bold and courageous action. What we’ve got from National is a long list of broken promises.
 
National said it wouldn’t cut KiwiSaver, Working for Families or student loans and that it wouldn’t increase GST.
It’s done all of those things.
 
Labour accepts that existing spending is not sacrosanct. But if cuts have to be made, they should be justifiable and fair. The sacrifices that need to be made to turn our country around should be fairly shared by all New Zealanders – not just pushed on to those who can afford it the least.

Labour will relieve the financial pressure from the rising cost of living because we think New Zealanders deserve a break.
Labour's plan:
We will stop asset sales to keep power prices under control.
We will take GST off fresh fruit and vegetables.
We will make the first $100 a week tax free.
We will implement bold new economic policies and a fairer tax system.
Labour will put hardworking families at the centre of everything that we do.
Today, I'm asking you to join with me in voting no confidence for National's "No plan, no vision" budget.
Please click here or on the button below to show your support. And please encourage your friends and families to join us. Let's make this Bill English's and John Key's last budget.

Kind regards,
Phil Goff
Labour Leader
PS. As expected, National confirmed it's intention to sell state assets. Under Labour there will be no asset sales. If you haven't already, please sign our petition, join us on Facebook and donate a $10 stop sign to the campaign - they're still in hot demand by activists up and down the country. Thanks again for all you do.

Open Invitation
