Women’s participation in politics is a sept forward toward their empowerment. It helps reduce the inequality between men and women and with women in politics, they can ing out better policies which support and empower women. Gujarat has come a long way in terms of empowering women and has made many efforts which support women and encourage them, making them economically and socially independent. In this paper, using the data available we analyze and compare the difference in the male and female political participation for all the 26 districts of Gujarat.
