The document discusses women's representation in legislatures in India and issues with the current reservation bill. It notes that women's participation remains low globally and has further declined in India. The bill aims to reserve one-third of legislative seats for women, but this risks greater resentment, violates democratic representation principles, and could marginalize women politicians further by not allowing them to build constituencies long-term. An alternative approach is needed to genuinely improve women's participation in politics and decision-making.

“……..Let us enter politics,
Continue our struggle
And take leadership.
Can’t put up with patriarchal power any more,
O, Venubai, why do you remain repressed?
Come out and join our rally.”
This is how the song sung for the first time by women members of Toiling Women’s Liberation Movement” in the late seventies ended. It represented the gusto of a newly formed mass organization of tribal women of Dhulia district (Vibhuti Patel, 1987). It became popular among the women’s groups not only in Maharashtra but also all over India. This song represented the new understanding of ‘politics’. Politics as not only electoral politics or membership of political parties, but as collective action of women against oppressive patriarchal power with a long term goal of social transformation that ensured women’s liberation from exploitation, degradation, injustice, subjugation and superstition, casteism and communalism.

From Kitchen to Local Government: Understanding the challenges of local women...Tazlina Zamila Khan
Traditionally women in our country are deprived of their rights of decision-making and of effective political participation. Their roles has been identified as secondary. Their potential remain largely unrecognised and contributions are mostly unpaid.
Women’s empowerment is a process of enhancing the capabilities, rights and opportunities of women in various spheres of life. It also involves challenging the existing structures.

POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN INDIAN POLITICSpaperpublications3
Abstract: women constitute half of the world population, but they are the largest excluded category in almost all respects. Women are neglected at family, community and societal levels and living as an oppressed class. Historically they have been exposed to extreme form of physical, sexual and psychological violence and enjoy least socio -economic status. They have been victims of gender based violence and their miseries got intensified further due to patriarchal nature of society. Women attempted diversified strategies to liberate themselves from shackles of exploitation and feminism was a major response to challenge patriarchy at global platform as well as within national boundaries. An important area where women have been inadequately represented is in the political sphere. Articles 325 and 326 of the constitution of India guarantee political equality, equal right to participation in political activities and right to vote respectively. Lack of space for participation in political bodies has not only resulted in their presence in numbers in these decision making bodies but also in the neglect of issues and experiences in policy making.

This Presentation illustrates the status of women's participation in national & local level politics in Bangladesh. it also shows why women are lagging behind in politics. Hope this presentation will help readers to know about the condition of women in politics in Bangladesh.
Considering the socio-political dynamics of our society in which we were raised, I’m convinced that it is very unlikely for the young aspirant women like us in their thirties even to run for office or it might be a stroke of luck that someone without any political background gets elected because of their political struggle.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Enhancing Women’s Representation In Legislatures August 5
1. Enhancing Women’s Representation in Legislatures An Alternative to the Government's Bill for Women’s Reservation MANUSHI SANGATHAN E-mail: [email_address] Website: www.manushi-india.org
2. Apart from some exceptions like Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland where women are moving in the direction of near equal participation , female presence in legislatures remains small and relatively insignificant.
3.
4.
5. The representation of women in the Lok Sabha has basically remained stagnant. * It reached a “high” of 10.6% in 2009 with 58 women being elected to Lok Sabha and 18 out of 228 in Rajya Sabha amounting to 7.89%.
6.
7. It is significant that stagnation and/or decline in women’s political participation rates run contrary to trends in many other fields. But they have failed to gain ground in the field of politics. Moreover, the agenda of women’s empowerment seems to have lost the kind of moral and political legitimacy it enjoyed during the freedom movement, as was evident from the ugly scenes in the aftermath of tabling the Women’s Reservation Bill in parliament. Women in India have made major inroads in various male-dominated professions, including the governmental bureaucracy. In the fields of business, medicine, engineering, law, art, and culture , women who were given opportunities to acquire the necessary skills and education have proven themselves capable of holding their own, without availing of any special measures to facilitate their entry.

12. In the event of rotation of all reserved seats (women plus SCs, STs): The population of scheduled casts and scheduled tribes is now estimated to be around 16% and 8% respectively, on an all India basis. In certain states, their combined population is much higher, reaching 35% or more. With one-third seats reserved for women, every single seat will be rotated in every general election. This means that practically every member of a legislature will be unseated in every single general election.

21. Table 4 clearly shows that the role of Independents in our elections is marginal and declining. In Lok Sabha elections , as many as 99,7% of Independents are in fact losing their caution deposits.
22.
23.
24.
25.
26.
27. It is noteworthy that women’s participation has increased dramatically, to near equal or even higher than equal participation , only in countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finiland, Germany and the Netherlands which have implemented party-based quotas of the kind we are proposing.
