This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Women Empowerment reached momentum in the second half of the 1990s. The Gender Development Index (GDI) and Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM) put forward by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP 1995) measure some aspects of women empowerment and found that both are sufficient to measure women empowerment at the individual level. Women are the victims of social, political, religious, and economic subordination and deprivation in Indian society. Also, they are treated unequally and cannot participate in democratic activities equally with men. Women throughout the world have been struggling to break away the shackles of bondage, subjugation, oppression and all kinds of ill treatment both within and outside of their families. Without bringing them into the corridors of power where they can formulate policies and programs and implement them, the survival of women is very difficult. In our society, women's political participation as well as representation is very low. Women are also considered second-rate people throughout the world. The low representation of women is a consequence of many factors. Traditional cultural values, obligations to families and children to raise their children, lack of awareness and education, lack of political socialization etc. The constitutional, legal as well as administrative arrangements have led to many changes in women's lives in our society. Women's political empowerment implies the decentralization of power and authority in the deprived, oppressed and powerless people who have not been able to participate in the decision-making processes and implementation of policies and programs of both government organizations as well as familial and societal matters. The 73rd and 74th constitutional amendment also created significant steps towards women's political participation. Today, women receive 'easy tickets' for elections by booking. This challenge lets women come back from the public sphere by present male rule and by other factors. But the quality of her performance is essential to inspect their quantity representation. Other women as a "proxy or rubber stamp" should increase their ability to make decisions and to perform in other important areas. For women who first enter the deep sea called politics, there should be many challenges. It is essential to ensure and improve one's participation in all those obstacles that are needed, particularly in the early stages of representation and the development of the support system.
