Karnataka Anganwadi Workers to Protest Face Recognition System

Karnataka Anganwadi Workers to Protest Face Recognition System

Anganwadi workers in Karnataka are planning to protest against a new system that uses facial recognition to give food to children and mothers.

They also don't want to work as election officials.

These workers are part of a group called the Karnataka State Federation of Anganwadi Workers and Helpers, which is linked to a larger union called AITUC.

The protest is happening on July 26th in Bengaluru.

They say the facial recognition system is making it harder to give out food.

They want the government to stop using the system.
