Women activists: Govt must implement 33% women’s quota at current strength of Parliament

Women's groups are rallying for immediate implementation of a 33% reservation for women in Parliament and state legislatures, pushing for a constitutional amendment that would make this quota independent of census and delimitation cycles. Activists are urging MPs to support this pivotal demand for greater political representation and empowerment, highlighting its importance for gender equality. Joint demonstrations are scheduled for July 20-21 to amplify this call, underscoring the long-standing demand for women's rights in political spaces. This movement is crucial as it seeks to ensure women have a fair share in legislative bodies, reflecting a broader push for gender equity in governance.
