During the decade of 1980, the aim of the feminist movement was – elimination of sexual violence in family or outside. On the basis of gender equality, many laws were demanded. This feminist movement created awareness in the society towards women issues. Women also became aware of their rights. They felt more self-confident.

Gradually, this awareness increased and by the decade of 1990, the movement started demanding equal political representation for women. By 73rd and 74th constitutional amendment women were given reservation in local political bodies. After this, demand was made for reservation in parliament and legislative assemblies also. ‘All India women council’ and several other women organization are raising their voice even today against women atrocities and gender inequality.
