WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT
The UPA government proposal to increase women’s reservation from 33 percent to 50 percent in all tiers of panchayati Raj system is a right step in the director of women’s empowerment. It will open up opportunities for women to aspire for higher goals. It will ensure the passage if the women’s Reservation Bill, which seeks to provide 33 percent reservation to women in parliament and the state legislatures.
It is true that women to day compete with men in every major field, and even do better on many occasions; no one can deny that they are victims of the principles put in place by our male-oriented society. By enhancing the representation of women in the local bodies from 33 to 50 percent, the government has achieved a major milestone. It has taken a right step tobigojohi102wards lowering the gender disparity in representation at the grassroots level. It will surely lead the formation of more representatives’ panchayati raj Institutions. It will provide greater scope for women to prove their mettle. But the opportunity should be utilized well by those who stand to gain from it. It is important for women to prove that they can think independently and take bold decisions.
Women need to be given an opportunity to participate in greater numbers in politics. It will surely empower those belonging to the marginalized sections too. A majority of women live in the villages. The move to increase reservation for women in the local bodies will therefore, ensure that they have a better opportunity to voice their view and shed the culture of male dominance
Poor women belonging to the villages cannot participate in politics unless they become economically independent. All round empowerment will become possible only when women decide to empower themselves.
