WINGS Kerala leading efforts, with contributions made by common people
P. Viji, the State president of Asanghatitha Meghala Thozhilali Union (AMTU), has received many awards in honour of her work to uphold the dignity of women. However, WINGS (Women Integration and Growth Through Sports) Kerala, a fellow fighter in the field, noticed that she did not have a house or space to keep all the mementos she received from the various receptions that were accorded to her. And that was when the organisation decided to gift Ms. Viji a house.
“There is no better reward for the woman who was at the forefront to uphold our rights to have toilets and also the right to sit at our workplaces,” said Deepa P.M., former secretary of WINGS Kerala.
In 2018, the BBC had selected Ms. Viji as one of the 100 women to bring about substantial change in the world.
