The political expression of gender division and political mobilisation helped to improve women’s role in public life. As India is a male-dominated, PATRIARCHAL society, women face disadvantage, discrimination and oppression in various ways:
• The literacy rate among women is only 54 per cent compared with 76 per cent among men.
On an average, an Indian woman works one hour more than an average man every day and yet much of her work is not paid.
• The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 provides that equal wages should be paid to equal work.
• In India, sex-selective abortion led to a decline in child sex ratio (number of girl children per thousand boys).
• Urban areas have become particularly unsafe for women.
Issues related to women are not given adequate attention. This has led many feminists and women’s movements to the conclusion that unless women control power, their problems will not get adequate attention. In India, the percentage of elected women members in Lok Sabha touched 12 percent of its total strength for the first time in 2014. Their share in the state assemblies is less than 5 per cent.
One way to solve women’s problem is to have a fair proportion of women in the elected bodies. In Panchayats and Municipalities, one-third of seats in local government bodies are reserved for women. Now there are more than 10 lakh elected women representatives in rural and urban local bodies. Gender division is an example that some form of social division needs to be expressed in politics. This also shows that disadvantaged groups do benefit when social divisions become a political issue.
