In the era of scientific-technological advancement and democracy, women still face the multiple social, religious, political and economic discriminations. In the political sphere, they are marginalized, discouraged and face several restrictions and strong resistance. In the male dominated world, the parochial mindsets and age-old traditions do not allow them to participate in politics due to variety of reasons.

In order to put an end to the gender discriminations and the heinous crimes against women, there is immense need of political empowerment of woman because a woman is in better position to understand the problems and the grievances of a woman.
