Mahila Swaraj is an initiative aimed at empowering women to take charge of local governance, specifically within Gram Panchayats.
It is designed to equip women with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to contest elections and become active leaders in their communities.
By fostering a network of women leaders, Mahila Swaraj aims to create a supportive environment where women can advocate for their rights and address the issues that matter most to them.
Despite making up nearly half of India’s population, women are significantly underrepresented in politics. Currently, only 74 out of 542 members in the Indian Parliament are women. This disparity highlights the urgent need for women-centric politics that prioritizes their perspectives and needs. Mahila Swaraj seeks to bridge this gap by encouraging women to engage in local governance, thereby ensuring that their voices are heard and their issues addressed.
The representation of women in the Indian Parliament stands at a mere 13.7%, with only 74 women out of 542 members. This lack of representation not only hinders the progress of gender equality but also limits the ability of legislative bodies to address the specific needs and challenges faced by women in the country.
