Malnutrition and Starvation Deaths 

‘Due to malnutrition people started falling sick, in the last five years more than 200 people have died on this (Tea) estate alone.’

‘They do not have any rice, they are hungry and they have to work on empty stomach- so they fall ill and die. All of them died due to hunger and malnutrition. This is how my husband died, he worked without enough food and he died because the tea garden was shut down.’

Editorial: Security for who? Security for ALL

2009-12-01

Issue No : 73  October - December 2009

‘Will I still have my job next month? Will I still have my job tomorrow? What will I do if I have an accident at work, or if I get pregnant?’ Millions of workers are working daily, contributing to steady profits of their employers without ever knowing the answer to these questions with any certainty – or worse, knowing with a certainty that their jobs and their very health and lives could be disposed in an instant.

Sinapan Samydorai

The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is moving forward in their regional economic integration by 2015.

Towards a Peoples' Movement for a Universal Social Security in India

2009-12-01

Issue No : 73  October - December 2009

By J. John

A recent document of the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that at the beginning of the twenty-first century, access to any form of social protection remains a dream for 80% of the world’s population.1 Social security in India exists only for 7% of the workers - those who are employed in the so- called formal sector. Why so many in India are denied the benefit of social security and what could be our strategy for ‘Social Security for All’?
