Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Annpurna Devi, inaugurated the second edition of UN Women’s flagship capacity-building programme — SheLeads II — in New Delhi today.
SheLeads II, a flagship initiative by the UN Women India Country Office, is designed to strengthen gender equality in public and political leadership. The programme provides crucial support to aspiring and current women leaders preparing to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections.
The launch comes at a crucial juncture following the enactment of the Women’s Reservation Act, 2023, which ensures a 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies.
Through focused dialogue, training, and mentorship, the programme seeks to enhance women’s political leadership skills and increase their active participation in governance and decision-making.
