Vidya Charan s’interroge sur la sécurité des femmes au travail-Le Mauricien

Intervenant ce matin au Domaine Les Pailles Á  l’ouverture d’un atelier basée sur le genre, dans le cadre de la campagne ‘ 16 Days violence Against violence 2011’, la directive exécutive de la Mauritius Family Planning Welfare Association, Vidya Charan, s’est interrogée sur la sécurité des femmes sur leur lieu de travail, dans une société patriarcale comme le notre.
« je voudrais souligner que, connaissant notre main-d’Å“uvre, ou une très large part est composée de femmes contribuant a la croissance et au développement du pays, ou plusieurs femmes occupent des postes a hautes responsabilités, la question de pose de savoir si elle peuvent vraiment travailler en toute sécurité, en rapport aux lois en vigueur ou l’on parle d’égalité d’opportunités et de droit humains ! », a lance vidya Charan devant un parterre en majorité d’hommes.
« Nous plaidons tous pour l’automisation (empowerment) des femmes. Et si elles sont autonomes, sont-elles vraiment libres de travailler et de donner le meilleur d’elles mêmes dans une société patriarcale comme la notre ? Ou sont elles condamnées Á  souffrir en silence et rester a la merci de leur agresseurs ? », A poursuivi la directrice de la Mauritius Family Planning Welfare Association(MFPWA). « Ce serait un domaine de recherche tres intéressant ! », a-t-elle laconiquement ajoute sans aucunement faire allusion aux difficultés qu’elle rencontre actuellement avec certains membres du conseil d’administration de son association.
