WOMEN VOTERS ARE DEMANDING POLICY CHANGES REQUIRED FOR GENDER EQUITY HOWEVER IT MAY TAKE MORE TIME TO ACHIEVE THE SIGHTED POLICY CHANGES, SO REQUIRED FOR THE GROWING ASPIRATIONS OF THE WOMEN VOTERS.

Women voters are emerging as important stakeholders for political parties and the political parties are particularly assuring the women voters to fulfill their demands of gender equity as allowing fifty percent women quota for employment and other demands to release money for their family service, and personal benefits to the poor family women. No doubt generally the female voter turnout surpassed the male participation. The notion that women vote as per the directions of the male head of the household is losing ground and the studies have shown that women are now making conscious choices when voting for which political parties are attracting their vision and need to consolidate support amongst the women for which the opposite front promising to fulfill the growing aspirations of the women voters however it is yet to be steeped in the ground realities of the guaranteed gender equity for the women voters of the country. According to the Global Gender Gap Report 2023-24 India currently ranks 127th out of 146 countries on gender parity. The preamble to the Constitution commits to justice, liberty and equality for all citizens , for which more than half of India's population still struggling to access these basic guarantees for which it is very clear that the Indian women voters demanding nothing short of gender equity and a dignified life and liberty. The situation and position of this demand of gender equity may take more time for policy changes however political parties have started wooing the women voters to join hands on the basis of demand under sighted policy and work for the welfare of ground realities, so that government may think about the gender equity .
