Women's Reservation Bill ensures 33 per cent reservation to women in Parliament and state legislative bodies and was passed in the Rajya Sabha on March 9, but it still needs to be passed in the Lok Sabha before it becomes a law. But some sectors in Noida have already adopted the essence of this bill to work for women empowerment and emancipation.
Taking inspiration from this bill, residents of Sector 27 have elected their residents welfare association with more women representatives. Dr SP Jain, general secretary of newly elected RWA of Sector 27 said, "We organised a meeting of residents on March 28 for election, in which women had shown interest in activities of RWA. As a result, we decided to elect maximum number of women.
Jain said, "Residents have elected Kusum Lata as president, Krishna Rakesh and Nisha Thakur as vice-president, Madhu Gupta and Shikha Bhardwaj as a joint secretary, whereas residents had elected only one lady in previous committee of RWA." Jain also said, "Residents have elected this RWA for next two years. We are expecting that this team will work more efficiently than the earlier one, not only for women empowerment, but also in other sectors for the development of society."
Rajani Singh, a resident of Sector 27 believes that women members can also work on all grounds, which men can't. Only women can understand the pain of other women, which is not possible for men. Women can understand social issues in a better way.
More space for women is required. Sanjana Khatri, a resident of Sector 27, "Government has set a milestone for women empowerment by pushing the bill of women's reservation. This is the only reason why RWA has got an inspiration for taking such a step. Government should take more such steps for women empowerment.
