In a momentous development, the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India’s Parliament, passed the Women’s Reservation Bill with resounding support today, following in the footsteps of the Lok Sabha’s approval just a day prior. A total of 215 Members of Parliament (MPs) voted in favor of the bill, marking a significant step towards gender equality in Indian politics.
The Women’s Reservation Bill, which has been a topic of discussion and debate for decades, aims to allocate 33% of seats in both houses of Parliament and state legislatures for women. The bill’s passage in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha underscores the widespread recognition of the need to empower and involve women in decision-making processes at the highest levels of government.
