How Do You Increase Women Participation in Politics?

Swadeshi/Videshi

Join Sudhanshu as he speaks to activist and author Tara Krishnaswamy who leads Political Shakti, a movement to increase political participation of women, and Citizens For Bengaluru, a citizen movement for better accountability.
The interview touches on a variety of issues including how Tara got into activism, the barriers in women joining politics, the levels in which women are participating, campaigning and mobilizing on women-centric issues and the effort to ensure fair representation of women in the judiciary, legislative and executive. The takeaway? Among many things is that we cannot allow a certain demographic (old and male) be making laws for the country that impact women and young people most.
