NEW DELHI - Thousands of women joined protests by farmers on the outskirts of Delhi on Monday to mark International Women’s Day, demanding the scrapping of new laws that open up agriculture produce markets to private buyers.Since December, many farmers accompanied by their families have camped at three sites on the outskirts of the Indian capital to oppose the biggest farm reforms in decades, which they say hurt them.
“I believe if us women are united, then we can achieve our target much quicker,” added Veena, who travelled from the northern state of Punjab to the sprawling Tikri protest spot. “It is one more occasion to showcase and highlight the contribution of women farmers both in agriculture in India as well as to this movement.”

These are not the farmers protest, this is protest to shackles the government for whom more 60% population voted. Reuters please show the reality to people. There are only few people who are against this law and actually they are not against the law but against the government.
