Women suffer in war: Volga

Vijayawada: Feminist writer, Volga, the Kendra Sahitya Academy award winner said that in any war, women were the real sufferers. 

She was participating in a seminar on ‘War, Terrorism and Women’ organised by ‘Taruni Tarangalu’, a women organisation at the Cultural Centre of Vijayawada and Amaravati here on Sunday. 

To mark International Women’s Day, she gave many examples of different wars waged over a period of time and the resultant adverse effects faced by women and hoped that wars could be avoided.
