Abstract
POlitical participation " is not only restricted to the "right to vote" but include activities like decision-making process, political activism, political consciousness, campaigning etc. As the libertarians remarked that all individuals are born free and equal in dignity and should be entitled to same rights and opportunities without taking into consideration distinctions based on sex, caste, gender, language. Etc. However, it is unfortunate that women across world have faced atrocities in various fields. This paper deals with various aspects of connection between women and politics and why there is a need to study political participation in context of gender inequality. Women around the world at every socio-economic-political level find themselves under-represented and less involved in decision making process.
