Abstract

The present article focused on the factors affecting women’s participation and awareness in political field. The factors are responsible for the backwardness of women in all the fields especially their political participation and awareness i.e. lack of education, unhealthy maternity, high rate of mortality, poor contraception services and equipment, impact of pollution on women, women are overworked, women roughly work twice as many hours as men, unavailability of resources to the women, maltreeatment and humiliation, sexual harassment at workplace violence to mind and so on. The national policy focused on the equal access to women to health care, quality education at all levels, career and vocational guidance, employment, equal remuneration, occupational health and safety, social security and public office etc. In real sense, it depends upon the will power of the society, organisation and Government to improve women’s participation and awareness in political field. The Government as well as society must take such steps which enable to take part in all the activities equally i.e. social, political, economic, after this their awareness and participation in politics will increase itself.
