On June 29, 2026, the opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) staged a protest in the Kerala Assembly over the alleged non-disbursal of benefits under the Sthree Suraksha Scheme, a state government initiative aimed at providing financial assistance to unemployed women and transwomen.
The LDF members raised slogans and demanded immediate action from the ruling government to release pending benefits. The scheme, launched in 2024, promises monthly aid of ₹1,500 to eligible beneficiaries, but the opposition claims delays have left many without support.
