  This program aims to sensitize women and make them pro-active, influencing reforms for improved services and ensuring that the benefits of these improvements reach the people who need it the most.

India is one of the largest democratic nations with a multi-party political system. Women representations at the parliament constitute approximately 15% membership. The reasons for women not entering politics are many, both at the individual level as well as within the system. Hence the program aims to provide a path that can be pursued by those women looking for insights in different structures and systems that will remove barriers and facilitate participation. The primary attention will be given to those strategies that strengthen women's capacity and promote participation in all aspects of political life leading to greater gender equality in key decision-making processes and positions.
