💨 Abstract

CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat has stated that political parties' election schemes for women reflect their acknowledgement of women's independence, but she criticizes the schemes for focusing on making women "beneficiaries" rather than addressing women's rights. Karat emphasized the value of women's unpaid labor, which contributes 7% to the GDP, and expressed concerns about the cash transfers being treated as "freebies."
