Can you tell the reasons for the following changes?

Some seats are kept reserved for women to increase their participation in the political process.

Women reservation is not because women are weaker section. The important reasons for it are:

1. Women are denied opportunities in many fields and especially in politics.

2. Reservation helps to sustain the possibility of women participation in politics

3. The reservation also ensures the representation of women’s voice in social and political issues.

4. Women empowerment can be made possible.

Although women are nearly half the population, they comprise merely 11.6% of the 542-member Lok Sabha and 11% of the 245-member Rajya Sabha.
