Equal Representation for Women

Equality for women is not yet a reality in any country around the world, but VOW movement aims to make India to be among the first countries to make equality for women a reality, thus benefiting every citizen of our nation irrespective of their gender.

A more diverse legislative assembly would make better decisions and solve problems more effectively, because it would be able to draw on a wider range of experiences when examining new laws. It would also build and restore public faith in Parliament that is crucial to the future of our democracy.

Our schools and universities would not only keep girls on the path to academic success, but play a significant role in challenging gender stereotypes – not least on the subjects they take – and in shaping the values and attitudes of all young people.

While we need the authorities to support victims of violence in rebuilding their lives, report crimes and make sure perpetrators are brought to justice, education could also help make sure sexual violence doesn’t happen in the first place.

VOW movement will work to finally bring an end to the injustices women still face and to unleash the enormous potential women have to offer, to the benefit of everybody. VOW movement will also show that gender equality is easier to get to than we think.

VOW movement believes in taking the step towards change –today, instead of waiting for change to happen.
