Abstract

Political participation is the hallmark of a democratic setup. Nature, success and effectiveness of democracy largely depend on the extent to which equal, effective and actual participation is provided to all citizens. As women comprise almost half of the population, this section of society requires due attention in the system and a due share in the process. Democracy will fail in its objectives if women citizens lack equal opportunity to participate in the government decision making process.
