Abstract	Political empowerment of women refers to the power, skill, ability, critical thinking, and a sense of group identity to make decisions and take action needed to make a difference in a political system. A goal was set by all the international bodies in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action to have a balanced political participation and power-sharing between women and men in the decision-making process. It is evident in the local politics at the Panchayat level that women’s leadership and their increasing participation in the political decision-making process improves their condition in the society. This paper tries to find out the status and position of women in the Legislature. It tries to examine the political empowerment and participation of women at the global and national level. This paper also analyzes the participation of women as contestants, as member of Lok Sabha and member in the Indian Parliament. It explains the reason for such underrepresentation and also suggests possible solution for improving conditions
