+ March 07, 2021 TWO days before the International Women’s Day and a week before the announcement of the lockdown imposed a year ago, the Ecumenical Women’s Forum (EWF), a formation of women from Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, gathered in a blended liturgical commemoration (online and off-line) with the theme “Rise Against Tyranny, Pursue Justice.”
After a year of the implementation of lockdown, the suffering of the poor aggravated. Violence against women and children also intensified.
The Covid-19 pandemic was used by the authorities to repress the rights of the people. Instead of alleviating their suffering, the government passed in haste the Anti-Terror Law that only in effect intensified and legalized rights violations of the people.
