29. For the first time, a gender manifesto
Two leading women's organisations Thursday
released a gender manifesto in the national capital,
demanding that political parties commit
themselves to addressing issues of discrimination
against women in their manifestos.
The two organisations have sought that political
parties take their demands into account for
assembly and general elections. Calling for
inclusive and gender-sensitive governance, and the
passage of the pending
Women's Reservation Bill, the manifesto, drafted
by the Centre for Social Research and
WomenPowerConnect (WPC), an advocacy body,
called for committed work to end gender
discrimination.
"The manifesto calls on political parties to take
their responsibilities towards Indian women
seriously, and take steps to guarantee gender
equality in all sectors of society. This democratic
struggle has gone on for 17 long years, and it is
high time the political parties wake up to our call,"
said Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for
Social Research.
Kumari was joined by Radhika Khajuria, senior programme coordinator, WPC, Rekha Modi, president, Stree Shakti and Bina Jain,
president, All India's Women's Conference, in unveiling the manifesto. Kumari added that the government must fulfil its obligation to
table the women's reservation bill in the winter session of parliament. "The manifesto calls for all parties to take an active role in
addressing women's safety, health and nutrition, work opportunities and education," she said. "The members of the Lok Sabha must

30. follow the lead of their Rajya Sabha colleagues in passing the bill," she said. The key demands outlined within the manifesto include
addressing issues related to the girl child, elderly women and women who face multiple forms of discrimination.
It also recommends that political parties ensure the establishment and inclusion of women's wings in the party
structure, and assess the level of gender equality within the party. Steps should be taken to ensure women's
participation on governing boards by including internal quotas, the manifesto has said.
Holding political parties guilty of using manifestoes solely for winning the elections, Jain said 33 percent reservation in
representative bodies was the right of every women. "The system today has become such that we can stoop to any
level to come to power. We are not demanding 50 percent reservation; its just 33 percent, and that too only because
women have the ability to run the system in an organised way," she said.
