Indian Parliament : A Centre Of Misogynist Remarks

Samriti DhatwaliaJanuary 2, 20250

These traits reflect broader gender inequality and power dynamics in political institutions.    There have been various instances which show us that misogyny is so deeply ingrained into our political system, that somehow it forms the core of Indian Politics. Indian Parliament has shown us everything, from sexist comments passed onto female parliamentarians to keeping them outside the important decision making process.

They get paid but men for the identical work that they are doing and in some cases don't have the identical opportunities as men to achieve high-ranking positions.
