The IWPC, known as the women's press club and housed in a small bungalow in the heart of Delhi, has for years been a popular place for social-sector NGOs, rights activists and individuals to address journalists. The Press Club of India does not have the condition for organising events. Sources in the club, whose members total around 700 women journalists, said the club had decided to redraft the form after a managing committee meeting approved the change.

Some sources said neither the general body nor the managing committee had taken up the issue.
