IWC.12

Whereas we believe that while woman has the same rights as man, she also has the same obligations towards the society of which she is a member. That whereas it is the duty of man and woman to be prepared to serve the nation when called upon to do so during a national crisis or calamity or in times of national need; and whereas national services in this country such as teaching, nursing, etc., suffer through lack of women, the All-India Women’s Conference call upon women in this country:

1. to come forward in large numbers to take to these essential services;

2. to come forward for work in time of national need;

3. to educate themselves for good citizenship;

4. to fight against the social evils which retard the progress of this country such as child marriage, purda, polygamy, caste communalism, untouchability, etc.;

5. to educate and bring up children if any to become good citizens;

6. to set and maintain a high standard of morality in all spheres of life; and

7. to strive to the utmost for world peace.
