All-women band shares their Women's Day message

The group of 10 mahadalit women who works for their own band is all set to celebrate women’s day with much pride and enthusiasm. A few of them have shared their messages to all the women of our society.

39-years-old

Sabita Devi

, who leads the group, said, “I am very proud to be a

woman

and the way I am living my

life

. When I joined the band, things were not very easy. I had to face many challenges. People of my village criticized me. Even my

husband

did not like my work. However, I did not lose hope and now things are much better. Our villagers are proud of us and so is my husband. Therefore, women must not lost hope easily and they should fight for their own rights. This will make them more confident and independent.”

For

Anita Devi

, another member of the band, said, "Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate her womanhood. She said, “Every woman has the power to change the society. If a lady can create a life, she can do anything. With this thinking, I joined the band and now we are recognised nationally. On this occasion I have a message for all the females that they must empower themselves so that they may not have to depend on anyone.”

Sharing similar views, Lalti Devi, said, "My message for every woman is that all of us must respect ourselves for who we are. We must not compromise unnecessarily for the sake of society."
