Indian National Congress (women's involvement)
The Indian National Congress, a leading political party during India’s struggle for independence, historically involved women in various capacities. Women participated as leaders, activists, and supporters, advocating for independence, social reforms, and women's rights. Prominent figures like Sarojini Naidu and Annie Besant played key roles, organizing protests and speaking out against colonial rule. Though initially limited by societal norms, women’s involvement grew over time, symbolizing their vital contribution to India’s freedom movement and shaping future efforts toward gender equality in the country.
