On May 7, 2026, a significant 2K walk was organized by the Joint Forum of Women’s Organisations in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India, to demand the immediate implementation of women’s reservations in legislatures. Protesters marched from Tummalapalli Kalakshetram to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Smruthivanam, voicing their concerns against the perceived anti-women policies of both Central and State governments. Speakers at the event accused the government of deliberately delaying the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Bill by linking it to the Census and delimitation processes. P. Durga Bhavani, the State general secretary of the A.P. Women’s Federation, criticized the government for introducing new conditions despite the Bill being passed. D. Ramadevi, a national leader of the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA), labeled the delay as a denial of women's rights, while Congress leader Sunkara Padmasri condemned the government for treating women as a mere vote bank. Former MLC K.S. Lakshmana Rao also expressed discontent with the Modi government for the ongoing delays in implementing women's quotas. The event saw participation from various leaders representing women, labor, and civil society organizations.
