Detailed Solution

India has the least participation of women in the Parliament. Due to the absence of constitutionally mandated quotas and a reservation policy at the federal level of government, the participation of women in the Indian Parliament remains low in comparison to European nations. The participation rate of women in elections is close to 10 per cent in Parliament and 5 per cent in state legislative assemblies. Many women's organisations have urged a specific proportion of seats to be designated for women in elected bodies, including one-third of all Lok Sabha seats. However, the government enacted legislation granting women a 33 per cent reservation in local self-governing institutions.
