On 8 March 2019, the Study Hall Educational Foundation organized a\u00a0panel discussion on the occasion of International Women’s Day.\u00a0The topic of this discussion was \u2018Why the status of women in India is not a major election agenda\u2019. This was held as part of annual India\u2019s Daughters\u2019 Campaign that Study Hall Educational Foundation conducts.
\nOn this occasion, the guest Juhi Singh, spokesperson, Samajwadi Party, Rakesh Tripathi, spokesperson, Bhartiya Janta Party, Sadaf Jafar, spokesperson and Farah, member of Sheroes Hangout cafe were present and they discussed the\u00a0topic.<\/p>\n

The program started with the introduction of our esteemed guests. The discussion started with a very strong question asked by a Prerna Girls School student, Sapna Bharti. She asked, “I am a first-time voter. I want to ask why should I vote for a political party which does not have gender equality as a major issue on their manifesto?” The students continued to ask questions and our guests answered\u00a0them.<\/p>\n

In this discussion, Sadaf Jafar, spokesperson, Congress, said, \u201cWe must rise beyond political differences and collectively fight against structural violence that women face.\u201d She also advised students, to read the manifesto of the party before voting and give the vote to a party which they think will help to build a better nation.<\/p>\n

Juhi Singh, spokesperson, Samajwadi Party said, “We make event-based political agenda and we accept that. We will try and work on it. I see confident young women here who are capable of becoming strong political leaders in the future and I hope we will have more participation of women in politics in the future”.<\/p>\n

Rakesh Tripathi, spokesperson, Bhartiya Janta Party, said, “women should stop believing they are weak and raise voice against the small issues they face, then only we can change the society”.<\/p>\n

\n

On this occasion, the parents of\u00a0Prerna Girls School were also invited.\u00a0For the last six years, the Aarohini Initiative organizes yearly India\u2019s Daughters\u2019 campaign that focuses on gender empowerment issues with the goal of raising awareness in the community about gender discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n

The program was concluded with the felicitation of the mothers of Prerna Girls School students and vote of thanks.<\/p>\n
