Activists call on the government to enforce a 33% women quota in Parliament at its present strength.
In a recent statement, a coalition of women activists urged the Indian government to implement a 33% quota for women in Parliament, citing the current strength of the house.
The demand highlights the persistent gender imbalance in legislative representation. Activists argue that a quota would ensure greater diversity and better reflect the population’s demographics.
They have called for immediate action and legislative measures to bring the quota into force. The movement is part of a broader push for gender parity in Indian politics.
