Women, Space and Capability Development : The Role of Elected Women Representatives
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The theme of women’s participation in political space has acquired the central space in national discussion about political life of our country as women’s participation is now considered instrumental in ending the exploitation, suppression, and exclusion of women from ‘public’ space. Women’s political participation has taken up the central stage as it has become one of the most important indicators of inclusive politics . 73rd amendment to the constitution can be seen as the measure taken by the government to improve the visibility of women in political space for expanding and deepening participatory democracy in the country. Hence , the slogan ‘power to the people’ denotes to the paradigm shift in the country where traditionally politics has been a male bastion. The paper is an attempt to understand and explain how women in panchayats are trying to create some space and niche for themselves, not only by becoming visible but also by becoming vocal after the silence of centuries.
