28 January : The Central Chin Women’s Organization (CCWO) in exile held its election on the Indo-Myanmar border area on 17 January.
The representatives, who participated in the elections, were from 12 out of 13 CCWO’s sub-offices while other representatives were from Chin political organizations and Chinland women’s organization. The election was successfully held, a press release said.
“In fact we have to first hold the conference of our organization, and then conduct elections according to the constitution of the organization. However, we conducted the conference since the organization was established for many reasons. Therefore, we decided to conduct elections against the constitution,” said Shalom, secretary of CCWO.
The main objectives of the organization are to empower women, to develop children’s education and to build a federal state in Burma.
“Now we are conducting computer classes to help women, and are providing financial assistance to children abroad. Besides, we conduct educational awareness for Chin women,” said the president of CCWO.
In the elections, Shalom was elected to the post of secretary and Mrs. Siang Chin to the post of President. Four other leaders were elected to other posts.
The Central Chin Women’s Organization (CCWO) was established in 1995 by women’s groups in India.
