New Delhi: Twenty-seven years after the Women’s Reservation Bill was first introduced in Parliament, the Lok Sabha on Sept. 20, 2023 passed a Bill with near unanimity to amend the Constitution and provide one-third reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies. The Bill will now be taken by the Rajya Sabha for passage on Sept. 21 (today) and might require approval from half of the States.
