Maneka Gandhi is asking YOU for ideas for National Policy for Women 2017; tweet with #NationalPolicy4Women

Rarely has national policy been shaped by the interests of the female demographic of the nation in mind. These lacunas in the policy have unwittingly led to increased instances of violence against women, wage gaps and gender inequalities. While it is easy to complain about these injustices, have you ever wondered if you could contribute anything to change that? Well now s your chance!

When you have a woman at the helm of the Ministry of Women and Child Development, we can hope for women s causes to be at the heart of the country s national policy. That s what Union Minister Maneka Gandhi is here to prove. In a groundbreaking initiative, Maneka Gandhi has invited the public to suggest innovative out-of-the-box ideas for the National Policy for Women 2017. On Thursday, the minister started an online form which invites common people to be a part of the nation s policy-making process.

In the petition, Maneka has stated that she welcomes new ideas from the public for women s safety and empowerment. She goes on to say that the new National Policy for Women, which has taken two years to formulate, will address the needs of the women and function as a guide for the government. Previously, the government had started a similar petition for changing passport rules for children of single parents in the country and highlighting the alarming number of C-section births in the country. The ministry will welcome suggestions till 15th May 2017. Also Read - National Safe Motherhood Day: Why is pregnancy induced hypertension so dangerous?
