India lags behind 150 countries in representation of women in Lok Sabha

Hindustan Times  

India fared worse than 150 countries in the representation of women in parliament, according to data from IPU-Parline, a global database on national parliaments. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, 74 women MPs were elected, forming 13.6 per cent of the total number of members in parliament. India falls short of the global average of 26.5 per cent as well as the South and Central Asian average of 19 per cent women MPs. In 2023, India passed the Women's Reservation Bill, which will provide 33 per cent reservation to women in Lok Sabha and assemblies. The country with the highest number of women MPs, Rwanda, also has a 30 per cent reservation for women in elected positions.
