Did you miss the brilliant reporting by @NWM_India journalists this election season? As the dust settles on another round of heated campaigning across the country and as polling booths close, here are the highlights of what became of our female politicians and voters in 2021.
"If you want to boast about democracy, you must make sure everyone is fairly represented — in voting, in contesting, in cabinet appointments, and thereafter. Democracy is equal access and equal voice." Read political scientist @swarraj here. https://www.nwmindia.org/blog/2021-assembly-elections/power-and-prejudice/">https://www.nwmindia.org/blog/2021...
Despite Kerala’s political parties displaying a very poor record of fielding women candidates, those that did make it have really inspiring stories. @varshapillai introduces journalists, lawyers and the "covid-slayer" contesting seats in Kerala& #39;s Assembly. https://www.nwmindia.org/blog/women-candidates/">https://www.nwmindia.org/blog/wome...
