It was with much heartfelt gratitude that we received the recent introduction of 50% reservation for women in panchayats, the steps taken to increase representation of women in central government jobs and the special emphasis on female literacy. But we are very still much concerned about the progress of the women’s reservation bill which has been delayed by successive governments. We feel that if reservation for women at the panchayat level which started off with 33% could be raised to 50%, then reservation in parliament can also be introduced. We feel discouraged when we are repeatedly denied our rightful place in politics and a fair representation in decision making bodies, especially, the Parliament. In a country where the President, ruling Government’s Chairperson, Parliament Speaker, and several Chief Ministers are women, promising 33% Reservation for Women in Parliament should not merely remain an unfulfilled dream. We therefore pin all our hopes on you and the present government, and we look forward with hope and expectation from you to translate your promises into action. We are always ready to support your efforts in creating a just society where we the women of India are treated equally, fairly and with dignity.
Thanking you The Women of India

My mother waited her entire life to see real representation for women in our government. We are moving toward our next milestone and we need a final push to ensure the people in power take this seriously when we present these names.

Seeing this movement grow fills me with a renewed sense of purpose for my daughters and sisters across this country. It is clear that we are no longer willing to wait for our place in parliament to be granted as an afterthought.

Just pass it. Stop wasting time with excuses. We need real change in the government.
Need more women leaders. The current system is totally outdated.
Equal rights means equal power. Why is this so hard for them to understand???
Waiting way to long for this to happen. Stop stalling and get it done already.
About time. Women face so many issues that men just ignore. We need a seat at the table to fix things for our daughters.

Its high time we get proper representation. Women are half the population but look at the parliement its all men. Enough is enough.
