A collective of leftist women fighting against all forms of oppression, with an understanding that women's liberation is central to the success of any movement
We call for the release of Wasantha, Siridhamma himi & Hashan, #RepealPTA & not replace it with any other terror law. The PTA has been historically used against Tamils & Muslims in #lka to crush dissent & those standing up to the oppressive State. - https://t.co/jHQFsx8mRJ

We demand the immediate & unconditional release of Chinthaka & all those who were arrested with him at the peaceful protest on 18 August.
We also call for an immediate halt to the undemocratic intimidation directed in the form of baseless investigations & arrests of citizens.
Congratulations to Member of LM, Attorney-at-Law & our dearest comrade, Swasthika Arulingam, who has done us proud again, by being appointed as the first ever woman President of the Commercial & Industrial Workers’ Union, as the CIWU celebrates its 45th Anniversary this year✊��

You may leave us but, Trade Unions will be with workers & moving forward, workers will decide on how we should structure our economy. The workers will lead the way. Victory to the workers! - Swasthika Arulingam (CIWU), Collective of Trade Unions & Mass Orgs, May Day Rally.
And now these same comps are talking about cost of production & loss making ,when our workers were denied their basic wages during COVID. Our economic structures have failed us. Our leaders have failed us. -2
For 40 yrs #lka experimented with trade liberalisation. Inside that economy it was FTZ, Plantation & migrant workers who brought $$ to SL - garment by garment, plucking leaf by leaf, cleaning house by house. Those $$ were stolen by the Rajapakses & hoarded abroad by Export Comps.
“Rajapaksa - Go Home!”
“Murderer - Go Home!”
“Murderer - Go Home!”

“The President says we must all drink bitter medicine due to this econ crisis. Tell those who they gave money, loans, tax cuts & the king makers to take the bitter meds. Why must we? If we don’t ask for accountability now, tmrw they will say this crisis is a creation of ours!”
