The Kerala Women’s Commission (KSWC) has directed private firms employing women to strictly follow service and wage conditions.
At a district-level sitting held in Kollam on Saturday, the commission also observed that private educational institutions have been terminating the services of teachers without any reason and persons accused in domestic abuse cases have been fleeing country.
“It has been noticed that the service and wage conditions of women working in private institutions are not properly followed,” said commission member Indira Raveendran after the sitting. She added that necessary steps will be taken to ensure service and pay conditions for teachers in private institutions. The KSWC will also make necessary interventions to prevent the increasing physical and economic exploitation of women with disabilities.
