Indian People's Front - Women's and Workers' Conventions

Women's and Workers' Conventions

In 1986 IPF organised a National Convention of Women in Calcutta. Around 1000 people participated in the open rally at the convention. The convention was historic in that it marked a meeting point of feminists and Marxists, and in a speech to the convention the president of the IPF Women's Cell declared that Marxism and feminism were not antagonistic but complementary ideologies.

In November 1987 IPF organised an All-India Workers Convention in Ambernath, near Bombay. Trade union leader Datta Samant was the main speaker at the convention.
