International Widows Day on 23rd June was marked by Nishtha single women organizing a noisy rally of 120 women who marched in Dharamshala with banners bearing slogans demanding single women rights. Converging on the office of the District Commissioner, our activists handed over a memorandum of their demands and petitions regarding particular cases which were mostly referred to other offices. Nishtha provided refreshments for all the participants since most had come from far away villages to make their voices heard.
