A major awareness initiative has been launched in Tiruppur to encourage greater participation of women in the electoral process.
The campaign, organized by Penn Collective Trust, focuses on spreading awareness about the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 2023. The non-partisan initiative aims to inform women about their rights and opportunities in politics following recent legal changes.
According to a press release, the 106th Constitutional Amendment Act 2023 provides for one-third reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies. The organisers highlighted the importance of educating women on how to make use of this opportunity, both as voters and as candidates.
The drive includes outreach programmes designed to build awareness and confidence among women to actively take part in elections.
The initiative comes at a crucial time, aiming to strengthen women’s participation and representation in the democratic process across the country.
