Women & Caste Empowerment in Eezham

A feminist organization name "Sunthathira Paravaikal", formed Under Thileepan Anna, fought against oppression against women in Eezham. Certain oppressive acts from Tamil Society, LTTE called it barbaric & wanted change. They fought against everything that oppressed from: from dowry to gender-based oppression

This was done in Eezham in the late 80s and early 90s yet the entire western world is catching up with EDI in the 21st century. Also, in the 90s, they fought against objectifying women, which we still see in the western world in the 21st century.

Women's empowerment to them did not end with gender-based equality but also extended to educational and economical empowerment.

De facto state of Tamil Eezham abolished caste and promoted an inclusive society with no socio-economic, or gender differences. People united as Tamils - no other leader/organization was ever this successful to bring such change within a short span of time.
