In the background of the current political scenario, one can make the argument that the anti-CAA movement has had women at the forefront of it since day 1. After all, in Delhi's now-iconic Shaheen Bagh, women have been holding their ground for over a month now as a mark of peaceful protest.

On the same lines, on Friday a little over a thousand women, armed with posters that read "Dharna hai ya Darna hai," (Protest or get scared) invoked their Shaheen Bagh counterparts as they gathered at the YMCA ground, to raise their voice against the CAA (Citizenship Act), NRC (National Register of Citizens) and NPR (National Population Register).
