The new Parliament appears to be high on the symbolism of gender justice. Apart from the women’s quota Bill becoming the first Bill to be tabled after the move to the new building, it also sports art which celebrates the contribution of grassroots women.
A signature wall called the ‘Jan Janani Janmabhoomi’ which adorns the Central Foyer of Parliament was assembled by 75 women artisans from across the country. Similarly, certain themes in the ‘Shilpa Dirgha’ (crafts gallery) also celebrate womanhood and their everyday contributions to society.
The ‘Jan Janani Janmabhoomi’ wall was made at a workshop set up in the ‘Nari Shishu Kalyan Parishad’ located at Stadium Road, Madhubani in Bihar.
