Kerala Assembly elections 2021: Push for more women in poll list

A women’s collective has proposed the names of about 150 women who can be fielded in the upcoming Kerala Assembly elections to prod secular parties to be more inclusive. Names of writers, lawyers, social activists, film stars and transwomen are among those suggested by Sthree Koottayma (women’s collective in Malayalam) in its fight for equal rights. “The names of many women who have done well in their respective areas of activity have been included without their permission since this is more of an awareness campaign to win our rights. The idea is to provide a list so that political parties won’t have the excuse of saying there are not enough women who can be fielded,” social activist and a member of the collective, Aleyamma Vijayan, told The Telegraph on Friday.
