Swati Maliwal Career
Maliwal, elected to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year, is more of an activist than a politician. She made a name for herself as the leader of DCW, where she worked energetically and stayed in the news. Kejriwal once praised her as “Delhi’s Lady Singham,” highlighting her fearlessness in rescuing women and children. Maliwal, at just 31, was the youngest to lead the women’s panel.
Maliwal joined Kejriwal’s NGO Parivartan, where she immersed herself in working with slum dwellers, even residing in the slums of East Delhi to understand their lives firsthand.
She became the youngest member of the core committee of India Against Corruption, an NGO led by Kejriwal, which spearheaded the Lokpal agitation, leading to the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). After AAP’s victory in the Delhi elections, Maliwal served as an advisor to Kejriwal. In 2015, she was appointed as the chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), a position she held until 2023.
Maliwal gained attention in 2018 for her indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, demanding swift justice for rapists following high-profile cases. However, the strike concluded without significant results. During her tenure at the DCW, she initiated various programs for women’s empowerment.
Swati is known for her outspoken nature, and she once shared her experience of being molested by a drunken driver while on inspection duty, highlighting the safety concerns in Delhi. Recently, the Lieutenant Governor ordered the termination of 223 employees from the DCW, citing unauthorized appointments by Maliwal. She criticized this move and stated that it would cripple the commission. 5wikipedia
