Circles Of feminist Politics

Nurturing intersectional leadership to break the structural inequality, creating safe space for underrepresented gender & sexual identities in politics

[Somya Gupta @dr_somyagupta]

How can you ask female doctors to not cover night duties ?? Are we living in 1850s? Will you call a male eye doctor to cover for a female gynaecologist at night ? Are these politicians totally insane ?

[Somya Gupta @dr_somyagupta]

Female doctors have a right to practice medicine at night safely ! Aren’t we equal citizens of this country? Will this not hamper training and career of women doctors ? This is such a severely misogynistic, not to mention dumb, suggestion !

[Arpita Chatterjee @arpitachatter]

Youngest MP in Parliament is a Dalit woman and mother of two. This is a win at so many levels.

[Virali Modi @Virali01]

I am disheartened that my country’s government and citizens cannot accommodate to my disability. My faith in humanity has been destroyed by this ordeal. I am not a piece of luggage that needs to be carried up two floors. I am a human being and my rights matter!

[Virali Modi @Virali01]

PLEASE RT!

I am disabled and I got married at the Registrars Office at Khar Mumbai on 16/10/23. The office was on the 2nd floor WITHOUT a lift. They wouldn’t come downstairs for the signatures and I had to be carried up two flights of stairs to get married.

As an athlete but more as a woman this is too difficult to watch .. they’ve brought laurels to our country and we have all celebrated them , with them .. if you have done that then it’s time to now stand with them in this difficult time too .. this is a highly sensitive matter and serious allegations.I hope whatever the truth is justice is served.. sooner rather than later 🙏🏽

Self professed murderer in Parliament! The BJP sure speaks for itself.

Being in politics is one of the toughest career paths for women. From simple things like assuming you’re symbolic to plain misogyny, interruptions, not being interviewed on anything but gender issues, to sexual harassment, every woman in politics deserves an award for just being

[Agents of Ishq @AgentsofIshq]

#Abortion is often depicted as a lonely terror, all the pressure belonging to the pregnant person. Do people handle pregnancy scares & abortions all alone?

Here’s what a few Agents had told us when we asked - who accompanied you to your abortion?

[Meera Sanghamitra @meeracomposes]

Can't citizens of this country even take out peaceful yatra apologizing to Bilkis Bano, who has been wronged so badly & traumatized for life! @sandeep4justice & 6 others detained by Gujarat Police even before yatra begins. Free them All. India owes an apology & justice to Bilkis.

[Sucheta Dalal @suchetadalal]

Very nice @nitin_gadkari : Love it. Now let us fix the highways and roads, pothole fixes, alignment, signage, design and maintenance. Jaan bachane ke liya zaruri hai!

[Kavita Srivastava @kavisriv]

Join us at 2pm, 7 September for a sabha and rally at Shahid smarak in Jaipur against the remission of the accused in Bilkis Bano case and the lack of accountability in the increasing sexual violance and rape incidents in the state. Addressed by leaders Aruna Roy & Brinda Karat

[WhereAreTheWomen? @wherearewomen1]

All it needs is a group of women with focus on the end goal. SEND THE 11 CONVICTED RAPISTS AND MURDERERS BACK TO PRISON IN #BilkisBano case.
Thank you @chayanikashah for sharing the press release ❤️🙏

[AICCTU Karnataka @aicctukar]

While news of flooded flyovers and underpasses always make the news in #bengalururains , the powrakarmikas & daily wage workers have been taking shelter in a nearby temple since late last night. They have lost all their belongings and sustained severe losses

[Sucheta Dalal @suchetadalal]

My head is still reeling. Cannot even believe this is happening or that it was unknown? Will she be garlanded is the next depressing thought!! 💔😡🥲

[Tara Krishnaswamy @tarauk]

Hey Bengaluru! Tomorrow, Saturday Aug 27th at 10.30 AM, Freedom Park. #BilkisBano has shown superhuman courage in coming this far, the least we can do is demand that the 11 be sent back to jail. #BeThere #JusticeForBilkisBano #KarnatakaWithBilkis

[Masooma Ranalvi @RanalviMasooma]

#JusticeForBilkisBano Instead of calling ourselves vishwaguru, we should hang our heads iin shame.
The only way forward is to oppose this injustice in whatever way we can and speak out loud against the release of the rapists.

What happened to MPs who found comments against a woman President objectionable a month ago?
They disrupted parliamentary process, parties organized protest. @NCWIndia issued a notice. Can we now expect you to speak for #BilkisBano #NCWActNow #JusticeForBilkisBano @loksabhatv

[Pranay Manjari @PranayManjari]

Enough of “respecting” women and “worshiping” female deities. We don’t want your excuses and fake respect, we want justice. We want rapists behind bars, not garlanded. #NCWActNow #JusticeForBilkisBano @MinistryWCD @NCWIndia
