The new farm laws passed in September 2020 have gathered much disapproval by the farmers. The farmers have sieged the capital’s borders since 26 November 2020 when they were stopped from entering into Delhi by the forces. Till now more than 70 farmers have died during the protests. Around eight rounds of talks have been held between farmers and the centre. However, no conclusion has been reached yet. After Shaheen Bagh protests these protests are also witness to strong participation by women. One such woman is Jashnjot Kaur Sidhu, who has joined the protests after her father’s death in October 2020. Kaur drove the tractor for around 22 hours to reach Tikri border of Delhi along with her family and some other people from her village. She says that it is the society which has defined gender roles, but there is no need for women to adhere to these roles. She reaffirms that she has not come here as someone who supports the protestors, rather she has come as someone who is being affected directly.
