Karachi
April 18, 2021
Speakers at a webinar said on Saturday the landless peasants and agricultural workers were not the centre of any of the relevant policies in the country, particularly in the Sindh province.
The Hari Welfare Association (HWA), a peasant rights body, organised the webinar to mark International Peasants Rights Day.
Nuzhat Shireen, chairperson of the Sindh Commission on the Status of Women (SCSW), said that peasant women did not have access to information about their registration under the Sindh Agriculture Workers Act of 2019, nor did they know how to unionise and be able to access food and livelihoods resources.
