In a bid to ensure progress to the women society, a delegation of women rights organisation Institute for Social Development (ISD) met Governor SC Jamir on Tuesday to discuss on the need of 33 per cent reservation for women in Parliament and State Assembly.
The team also talked on the growing atrocities on women. The Governor emphasised the need to change the mindset of people towards women and said a mechanism should be developed from the fetal stage of a woman. Jamir also stressed on taking oaths against systems like sex determination and dowry and as example, he referred to Nagaland where women occupy vital positions. It may be mentioned that a Bill on 33-per cent reservation for women in Parliament and Assembly is pending in Parliament. An amendment Bill in this regard is also pending since 2010.
