Women comprise nearly 50 per cent of India’s population yet continue to be under-represented in all aspects of politics including as elected representatives in the Parliament and Legislative Councils. The marginalisation of women from politics is clear as today, only 10.9 per cent of the parliamentary seats are held by women and women make up less than 1 percent of ministers and 4 percent of the negotiators in major development processes.
The 33% Now is an alliance of leading Institutions working in the field of women’s rights and social action. The goal of 33% Now is to advance women’s equality and empowerment by getting Women’s Reservation Bill passed by the Lok Sabha in the present session.
The demand for women’s reservation bill being passed in the current session of the Lok Sabha, is also being rallied through a strong online and mobile push to connected the youth, particularly women.
A number of partners have been brought together for online advocacy engagement. There is a petition underway on Change.org; a toll-free hotline has been set-up by Gramvani for people to express solidarity for the demand
The online aspect of the campaign which is very focused on generating a debate on the bill as an instrument of women representation and voice at the national level is called #ready2lead and builds on the existing recall of#33percentNow.
The idea is to support the digital presence among the youth to make the 33% Now network’s offline work of campaigning visible.
