Anyone using derogatory or abusive words against female candidates or voters will face immediate action. The Commission has warned that it will take suo motu action against offenders. District Magistrates and the Election Commission have also been asked to enforce these rules strictly.

Women have been urged to report cases where abusive language against women in Bihar elections is used. Contact details of Commission members are available on their website for quick reporting.

A new program, Women’s Commission for Your Institution, will also be launched in colleges and government offices. This program will allow female students to share concerns and report election-related harassment.

The guidelines clearly state: no comments on a woman’s personal life, religion, caste, community, education, or family. The goal is to ensure dignity and fair participation of women in politics.
