Overview

This review assesses women's political participation impacts on grassroots governance in India, highlighting challenges.

Key Points

  • Women now hold about 46% of elected positions in PRIs, marking significant progress in gender representation in local governance.
  • Although female leaders positively impact key sectors like health and sanitation, their decision-making power remains limited due to social barriers.
  • The review examines societal and institutional obstacles affecting women's empowerment in PRIs and suggests strategies for improvement.
  • Despite advances, true empowerment for women in local governance requires structural changes and capacity-building initiatives.
