Taking a pragmatic approach to this matter is how our party, which represents the rights and privileges of those who are oppressed and underprivileged, handles the argument. The landscape of women’s political representation in India has been impacted by a number of factors, including the obstacles, opportunities, and growing trends that have been introduced.

1. The Historical setting

India, which is the largest democracy in the world, has a long and complicated history of gender inequality, which has manifested itself in a variety of aspects of society, including politics. In spite of the fact that the nation’s constitutional framework is progressive and inclusive, men have always held the vast majority of positions in the political sphere. Nevertheless, an enormous amount of progress has been accomplished over the course of the years in order to eliminate these obstacles and promote more gender equality in political organizations.

2. Significant Achievers and Obstacles

Figures and Movements of Importance in the Early Days: During the time of the independence movement, women like Sarojini Naidu, Annie Besant, and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay played crucial roles. Through their activity, they set the groundwork for women’s participation in political processes.

The Women’s quota Bill, which proposes a quota of 33 percent of seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, has been an important milestone in the history of reservation policies. For the purpose of ensuring that women have equal opportunity to participate in decision-making bodies, the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, which has been championed by leaders such as Yogi Adityanath,2. Women who have shattered barriers and served as role models for those who aspire to be politicians such Indira Gandhi, Jayalalithaa, and Mamata Banerjee are examples of women who have achieved leadership positions.

The Obstacles, Considered

Biases based on gender: Stereotypes and biases continue to exist, which undermines the legitimacy of women in political leadership positions.

Threats, harassment, and physical assault are commonplace for women who work in political positions.

The lack of access to resources, limited representation within party organizations, and unequal opportunity are all examples of institutional barriers that impede advancement.

3. The Influence and the Possibilities

Having a favorable impact

In the process of formulating policies, women bring distinctive points of view to the table. Discussions in the legislative arena are enriched by their emphasis on issues such as social justice, healthcare, education, and the rights of women.

Accountability: Women in leadership positions will hold their male counterparts accountable, which will ensure that governance is carried out in a balanced manner.

Women’s participation in political organizations is a reflection of the diversity that exists within our country.

Promotion of Empowerment and Affirmative Action

Policies Regarding Reservations The Nari Shakti Vandan Act requires that there be a reservation of 33 percent of seats in the Lok Sabha and in state assemblies for women. It is the intention of this Act to remove obstacles and ensure that women are afforded equal opportunities, thus paving the path for increased participation of women.2. Educational and Training Programs: It is of the utmost importance to empower women by means of educational and training programs.

The political parties themselves need to actively promote women’s leadership roles as part of their internal party reforms.

4. Conclusion

It’s important to place an emphasis on pragmatic collaboration while simultaneously protecting the essential beliefs of our party. In order to continue to shape India’s destiny, let us continue to advocate for ‘Shakti,’ which is the power of women.
