Democracy and Struggle for Women Representation in Parliament

Liberal democracy which is practiced variously in many states in the world is an exclusively democracy. The practice, predominantly male, works in accordance with male ideology and makes women as category be marginalized, alienated, and excluded. Therefore for many centuries women had struggled to get their political rights little by little which were enjoyed by male people. Women conditions of being poor, oppressed, and ignored can be resolved if only they are included in decision making process. Many efforts have been made by women activists to get their suffrage, but their endeavours are not enough. Democracy becomes meaningless if women, a half of its populations, are not included, advantaged, and benefitted from the democracy (pseudo-democracy). Long women struggle to be included in decision making process is aimed that democracy has meaning and benefit to all citizens (truly democracy).
