The percentage of elected women members in Lok Sabha has never reached even 10 percent of its total strength. There is urgent need to increase women representation in the legislature to empower women. 
Central Legislature: Less than 10% of its total strength are women. (ii) State Legislature: Less than 5% of its total strength are women. (iii) Panchayati Raj: One-third of the seats are reserved for women.
