Women's representation in politics could be an important parameter to evaluate the overall development of any nation. Without including the 'adhi-abadi in the decision-making process, any kind of inclusive development or sustainable development goals cannot be achieved. In this reference, this paper deals with women's participation in politics both at national and international levels.
