Role of Women In Strengthening Democracy
Women in every part of the world continue
to be largely marginalized from the political sphere.
Join our movement, and advocate for the Women's Reservation Bill in the Indian Parliament!
Why this petition matters
Your support is crucial in our pursuit of gender equality and the empowerment of women in leadership roles. We believe that the Women's Reservation Bill is a vital step towards achieving this goal, as it aims to provide a fair and just representation of women in the highest decision-making bodies of our country.
The time has come to ensure that women have an equal opportunity to participate in shaping the future of our nation. Let us stand united and send a resounding message to our lawmakers that the time for change is now.
By signing this petition, you join us at Women Power Connect in urging our elected representatives to prioritize and deliberate upon this bill during the upcoming special session of Parliament.
Together, we can make a difference and foster a more inclusive and equitable society.
Please find enclosed the request from gender activists and the preceding president of Women Power Connect, Dr. Ranjana Kumari, addressed to our Honorable President of India, Smt. Draupadi Murmu.
