The 'Pune Samvad 2025' program organized by the Marathi news channel 'Lokshahi Marathi' has been organized. In the 'Pune Samvad 2025' program, Maharashtra's politics, governance, social work, tourism, health, etc., as well as the cultural sector were discussed. In this program, Rupali Chakankar was interacted with. On this occasion, Rupali Chakankar said, "If the mother in every house wakes up, we will not need to make any separate law for women. Now the mother needs to be empowered."
At Lokshahi Marathi's Pune Samvad 2025 seminar, Maharashtra Women's Commission Chairperson Rupali Chakankar raised awareness about facilities for women. She said, "People do not trust us as much as they trust the media, so Lokshari Marathi Channel is requested to continue reporting on women's issues until it is resolved. It should be given priority. Through Lokshari, I would like to inform the women and sisters of Maharashtra that the Maharashtra State Women's Commission is the first commission in the country to have started a toll-free number. This is the toll-free number 155 209 and through this number, any woman from Ahire village in Gadchiroli. (This village is known as the last village on the border of the state.) She can also contact our commission. Along with this, our email ID is also available. You can also file a complaint there. You can file a complaint at the Mumbai office and at all six divisional offices, at the counseling center and at the one-stop station. Also, the Janata Darbar held every week is an attempt to reach women from every corner of the state. For this, public hearings are held in every district. Bharosa Sailing is also an option. Also, if the mother in every house wakes up, we will have a "There will be no need for any separate law. Now mothers need to be empowered."
As the chairperson of the State Women's Commission, the responsibility increases to discuss women's issues in the state. Currently, many changes are taking place in Pune. While discussing the challenges in Pune and the issue of women's safety, Rupali Chakankar said, "On the occasion of this work, we visited the villages, settlements and padas. The problem that is in Thane is not Chandrapur's, the problem that is in Pune is not Mumbai's. If the geographical structure of each place changes, the problems there will also change according to the culture and tradition there. We deeply regret that we are proud of having launched our Chandrayaan on the moon. But at the same time, even today, despite the laws against child marriage, divorce and remarriage, we have to hear that we have to pass a resolution in the Gram Sabha for it. In fact, even today, we have to create awareness for it. Even today, it is not only among Punekars who insist that we should have the name of a boy on the door or on the nameplate on the door, but in the entire Maharashtra. The question is whether we have learned, become educated, obtained degrees, but our mentality has changed. Our living standards have changed, but our thinking has changed. "Why, everyone should think about this as a human being."
"In real life, have we learned to live as citizens? While working on human trafficking cases, it was found that most of the girls are from Mumbai, Nagpur, Thane and Pune. When girls from working-class families who have come from rural areas for education come to Pune, some girls and boys are seen getting drunk in order to live and behave according to the culture here. There is a lack of communication somewhere in all of this. It seems that now, when there is no one to communicate with, children search Google. In many places, it is seen that children do not communicate. Due to this lack, many incidents occur. These include cybercrime, incidents of cheating girls, incidents of human trafficking, entrapment in the net of love, baiting with jobs. There are incidents of violence against women that occur in this context. In all this, the government, administration, law and order are doing their job. But going beyond that, when the father who gave birth to the girl rapes her. At that time, where does the marriage of relationships go. Therefore, as human beings, we should come together and work," Chakankar also mentioned.
