Dharamshala, March 13 -- Exiled Tibetan women on Thursday marked the 67th Tibetan Women's National Uprising Day in Dharamshala. To commemorate the occasion, the Tibetan Women's Association organised a protest. Hundreds of Tibetan women in exile, including Buddhist nuns and students, gathered in McLeodganj. Earlier, the exiled Tibetans marked the 67th anniversary of the Tibetan National uprising day on March 10. Tibetan Women's Uprising Day is observed annually on March 12 to commemorate the historic 1959 demonstration by thousands of Tibetan women in Lhasa against Chinese rule. The day honours the courage and resilience of Tibetan women who played a crucial role in the initial uprising against Chinese occupation. Youdon Aukatsang, member of Tibetan parliament-in-exile said, "We are here to commemorate the 67th Tibetan women's uprising day. It's a historic moment thousands of women rose up against Chinese brutality and held a protest against China to tell them to get out of Tibet. Actually, it was the first protest on March 10, when they gathered outside the Norbulingka and on March 12 the Tibetan women came out to the streets and many Tibetan women laid down their lives for the cause of Tibet. So it is a very significant and historic moment.."...
