Her story, a poster exhibition, demanding equal participation of women in governance, held at the Kerala Social Forum concluded at Regional Theatre in Thrissur on Sunday.
Organised by the Thullya Prathinitya Prasthanam (Equal Rights Movement), a group of people fighting for equal representation of women in Assembly and Parliament elections, the exhibition showed agitations across the world for achieving the goal. It also showcased the statistics of current representation of women in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and in the State Assembly.
“Though the Women’s Reservation Bill got green signal in Parliament after a long wait, it has been passed with various conditions, which make actual implementation vague. People even wonder whether the conditions for implementing the Bill, including the census and delimitation, will be in place by 2029. So the future of the Women’s Reservation Bill is still uncertain though it is a law now,” notes M. Sulfath, convenor of the movement.
