Civil society should make this an issue, and that’s where the media also has a role to play".[2] Since then, violence against has indeed become an electoral issue in India Tavares said: "When women are in positions of decision making, they make decisions differently, more attuned to safety, sanitation, water resources and health of families. They also have a different style of dialogue... things do change because of them and they also manage to change attitudes."[2] In December 2015, representing UN Women, Tavares signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in New Delhi with Dr. Jyotsna Suri, President of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) to promote gender equality and Women’s empowerment in the corporate sector.
