Indian activists shout shout slogans in

Indian activists shout shout slogans in condemnation of atrocities against women in New Delhi on International Women's Day March 8, 2010. Principally opposed to the proposed Women's Reservation Bill, the demonstrators instead demanded better jobs and education for women. An attempt by India's government to pass legislation reserving a third of all seats in the national parliament provoked uproar today as opposition politicians forced repeated adjournments. The government had been confident that the Women's Reservation Bill, which has been stalled for 14 years, would gather the required votes to pass in the upper house after being presented on International Women's Day.
