  • The Constitution of India empowers women by granting them equal status with men and equal political rights. 
  • 22 women were elected in the Lok Sabha elections held in 1951-52. Their number increased to 66 in 2014 elections. 
  • Reservation has been increased to 50% in local self-governing institutions in Maharashtra and in many other states. 
  • If the number of women representative increased in Lok Sabha, it will help in reducing incidents of violence against women and increase their involvement in the decisionmaking process.
