Kerala Women MLAs Walk Out of NCW Workshop Over Hindi-Language Concerns
Women legislators from Kerala walked out of a National Commission for Women workshop in Faridabad, protesting sessions conducted mainly in Hindi without adequate English translation.

The NCW workshop aimed to build legislative capacity but faced criticism for limited inclusivity and insufficient practical guidance, with some participants expressing disappointment over the content and language barriers.
