历史性突破！印度女性努力27年终获33%议会席位（讲解版）|E0927

▍原文

India’s Parliament has approved landmark legislation that reserves one-third of the seats in its powerful lower house and in state legislatures for women to ensure more equal representation, ending a 27-year impasse over the bill amid a lack of consensus among political parties.

But the wait is still not over, as the new law will be implemented in the 2029 national elections.
