We have Madhu Joshi Madhu Joshi from Centre for Catalyzing Change C3 India today as a moderator where she is talking about the response of governments and other players and also how can we have more empowered women in PRI's!

Ms Uma shares that during the lockdown in Karnataka, they had set up two task forces: 1. Gram panchayat Task forces - With administration, members from Panchayati Raj Dept., Asha workers and local leaders, police, etc. 2. Village task force.

Dr Preeti expressed about how there are places where women are involved in decision making and active response, and there are experiences where they are denied to enter into these spaces! - The ultimate dilemma 🤷‍♀️

Mayuri from CREA shared how women representatives from marginalised communities continue to face challenges. Panchayats can be a space for both men and women elected reps but there is this unwanted competition that is evident!
