In state legislative assemblies, the average female representation is even lower—less than 10%. This glaring disparity highlights the urgent need for systemic reform. The Women’s Reservation Bill, seeking to reserve 33% of seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies, is a long-overdue step toward gender-balanced governance.
