Women's movements and feminists believed that their issues would not receive enough attention unless they held positions of power. Electing more women as legislators is one method to guarantee that. Women got the reservation of one-third of the seats in local government bodies. In both rural and urban local governments, there are now more than 10 lakh elected women legislators.
