India at 75, with a mere 14.4% of women in the Parliament, belies the constitutional promise of gender equality. Even as the Women’s Reservation Act 2023 was still in the pipeline, WISCOMP published a monograph discussing the many paths to increasing women's representation in political bodies. Authored by Rami Chhabra, a pioneering journalist, the monograph calls for the feminization of political action, re- introduction of double-member constituencies, and delimitation exercise to downsize constituencies. The monograph outlines the trajectory of the Women’s Representation Bill and measures for recalibrating accountability and equity in politics.
