Author(s) Ms. Anjul Yadav
Country India
Abstract The Women's Reservation Bill, or Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 2023, represents a major reform in India's Constitution to enhance the political involvement of women. The law guarantees 33% of positions in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies for female candidates and will help rectify the historical lower proportion of women in Indian Politics. This research study takes an interdisciplinary approach and utilizes an integration of Political Science and International Relations input to study the impact of the Women's Reservation Bill on improving democratic representation, governance, gender justice, and India's standing in the world as a democratic nation.
This study uses qualitative data analysis to perform doctrinal analysis, comparative political analysis, as well as utilize and interpret secondary data. It also examines the historical development of women's political participation, debates around the Constitution, feminist political theory and international agreements that support gender equality. Furthermore, the study identifies (and analyses) the difficulties, objections and implications of the Women's Reservation Bill on supporting inclusive democracy. This paper asserts that women's political empowerment is not only an issue of domestic governance but is also considered a global democratic norm and essential for the attainment of Sustainable Development.
