“Enhancing the Role of Women in Strengthening Democracy” – UNDEF Project
 
We Are The Answer This project, supported by the United Nations Democracy Fund, aims to reduce the gender deficit in Indian politics. Through a pipeline of 1000 women leaders across the nation, the project builds the capacity of women to participate in state and national elections, focusing especially on marginalized women from Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe and other backward classes. This training is coupled with lobbying with political parties to put more women on their lists and advocacy for the Women's Reservation Bill. Read more about the project here.
