This week on We Women Want we speak to women councillors about the work life balance. A councillor is the first point of contact any citizen has with her or his elected representative and they are responsible for civic works like sewage and potholes and also to ensure peace and harmony in the neighbourhood. Every RWA group nowaways has the councillor on board to take cognizance of complaints from streetlights to stray dogs.
On the show are Dr Shikha Rai a senior BJP leader and two time councilor from Greater Kailash (BJP). Shikha has also been a former VP Delhi Pradesh BJP along with Yogita Singh, Councillor from Kalkaji and also the president of the BJP Mahila Morcha. From the Aam Admi Party we have a first time councillor Hema Vohra from Jaitpur who was a former fashion designer until she contested from her husband’s seat after it was reserved. All three spoke of their work day and also the extra bit they bring to the table being women. For one they can talk directly to the housewives who are the ones most vested in civic issues and neighbourhood matters as the husbands go to work.
