why do you think there are only 61 women members in the 16th lok sabha
Answers
The 16th Lok Sabha will have a record number of 61 women leaders as compared to 59 women MPs elected during the previous General Elections.
However, the figure is a far cry from the 33 per cent mark that Women's Reservation Bill seeks to implement. The bill is pending in Lok Sabha after being passed in the Upper House of Parliament.
The number was lowest at 19 in 1977 elections.
Women leaders account for just 11 per cent of the 543 parliamentarians, while 89 per cent of seats are being represented by men.
"Of the 543 MPs elected, 61 are women. This is the highest number of women MPs elected to the Lok Sabha in the history of the country, although by a small margin," according to a report by PRS Legislative Research.
