Abstract

Women are involved less in politics. In any political system, right from the developed to the developing countries, women’s participation is far less compared to men. Political participation means not only exercising the right to vote but also power-sharing, decision making, policy making at all levels of governance of the state. Participation of women in this political activity is almost equal to men. Women are not yet well represented in the political arena, for which they have to participate in the public sector such as membership in parliament and state legislative assembly. The Constitution not only grants equality of treatment to women but also calls upon the state to accept measures favoring women neutralizing the socio-economic, educational and political disadvantages that they face.
