Chennai: “The goal of National Women’s Party (NWP) is to represent all women particularly the underprivileged who have suffered at the hands of the system and those from domestic abuse or struggling against the social establishment,” said NWP founder Dr Swetha Shetty.
Addressing mediapersons here at Chennai Press Club recently, she said, the first-ever national level Indian political party dedicated to women, was unveiled 18 December 2018 in New Delhi. “It was a historic step in a mission for equal representation in Indian Parliament,” she said.
Swetha said, “The party’s main concentration would be to amend the laws in Parliament for women welfare and progress. We want to preserve our identity and demonstrate that women can be educated, be leaders and stay independent. Every woman wants adequate health care, and economic stability.”
She also added that the party even welcomes political support from men if they agree with their ideology.
