WomComMatters is a citizen's collective that came into being in 2018, with a petition demanding for a fully functional Telangana Women’s Commission. Constituted by several stakeholders of the society making up for inclusivity and broad impact of our actions, our volunteer base comprises - students, social workers, advocates, counsellors, homemakers, and people of binary and non-binary gender identities. As a collective, we campaign for gender justice with intersectional feminism defining all our actions.
Women’s Commission Matters - because institutions matter!
From its inception, the National and State Commissions have worked steadfastly to safeguard
women's rights and have drafted policies, made crucial recommendations and played an vital part
in advocating for effective solutions against discrimination and gender based violence. With
Telangana, a body of this level is present but not functional, which raises questions about
where the responsibility for representation and advocacy falls. This gross negligence continues
even when cases of gender-based violence and crimes spike in the state. WCM works with the
singular aim to target these issues and ensure that matters of gender safety and its nuances are
addressed by institutions sensitive towards these causes.
Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. We wish to strive for the inclusive development of marginalized genders.
