The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Several women's rights associations, including AIDWA and the National Federation of Indian Women, will protest in front of Lok Bhavan in Chennai on July 22.
- They are demanding the unconditional implementation of the 33% reservation for women in Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies, without linking it to the Census and delimitation exercise.
- The groups argue that Article 334-A of the 2023 Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam has delayed the reservation's implementation, and that a 2026 Bill to speed it up was defeated in the Lok Sabha.
- They are also seeking support from political parties to raise the issue during the current monsoon session of Parliament.
