CHENNAI: The GCC’s record of executing women-friendly projects with Nirbhaya Fund may not be good but the young graduates, senior professionals and activists contesting in the urban local body polls in the city do not want their representation to be mere tokenism. Fifty percent of the seats are reserved for women.
From self-defence courses in schools, public toilets with sanitary pad dispensers to better housing, job opportunities, the candidates in the fray promise to push for welfare and safety of women in the city’s infrastructure plans.
