Leader Of India’s “Pink Vigilantes”: “Women Make Up Half The Population Yet Have So Little Power”
8:30 am, February 7th | by Amy Tennery
Sampat Pal, the ruler of the “Pink Vigilantes” in India, a group that targets wife-beaters and corrupt policemen (with wooden clubs, by the way), explains why she’s running for local office in Uttar Pradesh: “We have tremendous support on the ground because of our reputation. Women make up half the population and yet have so little political power. That’s why I need to get elected and set things right… I’ll continue working for the poor women of this area as I’ve always done.”
Pal discussed her platform — which is largely pro-woman — in a recent story for the BBC. In it, she explained why women are underrepresented in Indian politics and why she hopes to change that.
