Abstract: Women constitute half of the world population, but they are the largest excluded category in almost all respects. Women are neglected at family, community and societal levels and living as an oppressed class. Historically they have been exposed to extreme form of physical, sexual and psychological violence and enjoy least socio -economic status. They have been victims of gender based violence and their miseries got intensified further due to patriarchal nature of society. Women attempted diversified strategies to liberate themselves from shackles of exploitation and feminism was a major response to challenge patriarchy at global platform as well as within national boundaries.
Like other states of India the position of women in the state of Jammu and kashmir remained subordinate all over the state. Moreover the problems of women have been further enhanced due to age old political trauna in the state. However from the early decades of 20th century, women in the state of J & K got conscious about their subjugation due to emergence of political conciousness, expansion of modern education, spread of cultural awareness and deterioration of economic conditions. Women participated in socio -political movements in 1930's and the subsequent years there has been rising pattern of women leadership in the state politics of Jammu and Kashmir. Many of the women also fought against Pakistani invaders in 1947.
The groups like women's wing of peace brigade and women's resistance force are worth maintaining in this regard, undoubtedly, the political representation of women in the state is far from satisfactory due to less political conciousness and the cross fire of conflict between India and Pakistan, but there has been seen rising political awareness among women in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Role of women in panchayat Raj institution (PRI’s) is attracting a lot of serious attention in the present context in the state. The present study examines the role of women in the political arena and their growing political consciousness with special focus of identifying the causes responsible for their marginal representation in the state politics.

Vibhuti Patel & Radhika khajuria on political feminism in india 16 6-2016VIBHUTI PATEL
the last 50 years of feminist activism in India has managed to challenge the 5,000 years of patriarchal order. the main achievements were the deconstruction of violence against women, questioning of male domination within the family, kinship, religion, media and the State, in addition to a series of legal reforms. understanding of privilege to reshape the world has been the distinct contribution of the feminist movement along with the focus on the marginalised.
the feminist space in India is distinctive and builds upon a diversity of women’s groups, political party networks, feminist and HIV/AIDS-related nGos, nonfunded feminist and queer groups and individuals, democratic rights groups, eco-feminists, non-feminists, research institutes and universities. Despite the broad experience, this space remains rather disunited.
Currently, there is a backlash to feminism, as major insights of women’s activism did not succeed in altering the fixed notions of gender roles and traditions. on the contrary, some of these have enjoyed a revival with marketisation and cultural traditionalism. there is a disconnect between theory and practice: study groups and human rights activists seem to work in silos, unlike in the 1970s when there was greater dialogue between the women’s movement and women’s studies.
the gendering of citizenship requires us to question and challenge the fact that citizenship, a supposedly public identity, is produced and mediated by the supposedly private heterosexual patriarchal family. the ‘personal’ has become ‘political’ as it is completely submerged in power relations. Like any other structure of power, patriarchy too has an outside, which is what makes possible the different kinds of protests that constantly undermine it.
Feminism today is the constant questioning of the world we perceive and the boundaries we encounter. the more we understand, the more we are able to build a narrative for change. there are innumerable new energies arising from different positions transforming the feminist field: new contestations of patriarchy, and new contestations of the normative feminism itself. It will be the interplay of fields that might change the system altogether.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

I. INTRODUCTION
"There is no chance of the welfare of the world unless the condition of the women improved"
(Swami Vivekanand)
Women's issues are of great importance in contemporary societies and culture. Although gender relations are concerned
with both men and women at present gender studies are still mainly focused on women because they have been
marginalised for so long. Throughout most of human history there has existed an asymmetry in relations of power
between men and women. Thus there exists a major agenda to be addressed in order to overcome women’s invisibility,
marginalization and subordination. Gender has now become a critical category for analysis in all fields social, economic,
religious, cultural and political. Many current issues in debates about women their status and role in a society. Politics and
economy are influenced by Historical, cultural and religious factors. Women constitute more or less half of the citizen of
any country, yet they lack support for fundamental functions of a human life.
According to Indian’s constitution, women are legal citizens of the country and have equal rights with men (Indian
parliament) because of lack of acceptance from the male dominant society. Indian women suffer immensely. Women are
responsible for baring children, yet they are malnourished and in poor health. Women are also overworked in the fields
and complete the all of domestic work. Most Indian women's are uneducated. Although the country’s constitution says
women have equal status to men, women are powerless and are mistreated inside and outside the home. In workplace they
face greater obstacles including discrimination in hiring and sexual harassment in workplace. Gender equality in the realm
of politics continues to be elusive even today. Even though they make up half of the adult.

Population and contribute more than their share to the society they are frequently excluded from the positions of power.
They are underrepresented in the ranks of power policy and decision making. To participate in the political processes,
women need to enjoy the full exercise of their civil and political rights democratic freedoms such as expression, media,
opinion, peaceful assembly association and others are necessary vehicles for women's full political participation in
countries where the freedom of expression is limited ,women find themselves under constant surveillance and sometimes
under threat by their own government. In countries where religion and culture impose social restrictions and impinge on
state laws, women experience more difficulties in accessing education and engaging in public political space. The
fulfilment of basic survival and social needs ,economic independence and freedom from family and community violence
and crucial requirements in women's realization of their political potential The enfranchisement of women or in other
words their admission in law and to equality in all rights political ,economic ,civil and social. With the male citizen, is not
a new question to the thinkers, nor to any one by whom the principles of popular government are felt as acknowledge.
In post independence India, large number of women's autonomous groups have sprung up challenging patriarchy and
taking up a variety of issues such as violence against women greater share for women in political decision making etc
both at the activist and academic level. India has a rich and vibrant women's movement but it has still a long way to go to
achieve gender equality and gender justice.
Women’s empowerment is still a debatable issue in India. She is still treated as a second class citizen and the reason
besides are illiteracy, customs, traditions, poverty, ignorance, her own lack of interest in her own political empowerment
leads to such government policies, which lack proper insight and direction. It is important for the empowerment of
women that the women actively participate in the political process of nation.
II. OBJECTIVES
1. To know the role of women in the political arena and their political conciousness.
2. To examine the causes responsible for low level participation of women in Indian Politics.
3. To explore the constraints faced by women in performing their role in electoral politics.
4. To find out the position of women in National Parliament.
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The information for this paper has been primarily collected from secondary sources I,e Books ,Journal ,Government
reports and Internet.
Evolution of Women's Participation in Political Activities:
The roots of the women's participation in politics can be traced back to the nineteenth century reform movement. This
movement emerged as a result of conflict between the Indian bourgeoisies, trying to wrest control from the British. This
class made attempts to reform it, mainly by campaigning against caste, polytheism, idolatry, animism, purdha, child
marriage and sati etc. Male social reformers who took up issues concerning women and started women's organization
from the end of nineteenth century ,first at the local and then at the national level. In the years before independence the
two main issues they took up were political rights and reform of personal laws. Women's participation in the freedom
struggle broadened the base of women's empowerment. It is important for the empowerment of women that the women
actively participate in the political process of the nation.
Women’s are the world’s largest excluded group in political arena. 21.9 % of the members of national parliament
worldwide are women. Women hold 16.0 % of the seats in Arab state parliaments and 21.8 % of the seats in Sub -Saharan
African nation’s parliament. In Americas women hold 26.6 % .On the other hand in the developed nations of USA ,France
and Japan 18.3 %, 26.2 %, 8.1 % respectively of the House of Representatives of Lower House of parliament are
comprised of women. In Palestine 13.0 % of the Legislative Council members are women and in Morocco women make
up a mere of 17.0 % of Parliament. In India women comprised 11.4 % of National Parliament.

Austria was the only state to have elected a member to the presidency of one of the Parliaments chambers (the Bundersrat)
before the Second World War. Currently, 59 women presides over one of the House of the 183 existing parliaments
(32.2%). In 1955, Sweden became the first country to have an equal number of women and men in Ministerial posts. At
present Swedish Cabinet comprises equal number of male female, cabinet Ministers.
One of the biggest setbacks that the women of the state have faced in last few years related to the provisions of the 73rd
and 74th amendment of Indian constitution. These amendments related to the Panchayat raj institutions (PRI’s) have
brought about a silent revolution by the provisions related to 33 % reservation for women in the institutions of local self
government. They have brought a drastic transformation in India as far as participation of women at the gross root level
politics is concerned. As per an estimate there are nearly 7 Lakh women Panch and Sarpanchs and the Chairpersons of
Panchayat.
The twentieth century has been a worldwide revolution in the extension of political rights to women. Less than ninety
years ago there was no major country in the world where women are guaranteed the right to participation in politics on an
equal basis with men. Today only a handful states, most of them little populated Arab nations ,legally bar women's
participation in political life. In several major waves of change in this century, the ideal of the political equality for
women has spread from those states where it originated to the rest of the world and has been translated in to legal
guarantees.
Women in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
The 16th Lok Sabha in India ( 2014 )comprised 62 women members only 11.41 %of the total Lok sabha membership.
While it has increased from 9.02% in 1999, it is almost half of the world average of 22.2%. The Rajya Sabha does not fare
much better, with 29 women members comprising 11.9% of the total membership in 2014. Again ,while this is an
improvement from the 1999 figure of 7.70% it is far below the world average of 19.6% it comes as no surprise then that
India is ranked 141 in the world rankings of women in national parliaments ,compiled by the inter - parliamentary union.
India’s rank is one of the lowest in the region and falls below her neighbours, Nepal ranked at 40, Afghanistan at 45,
China at 71, Pakistan 86.
Women in Panchayat Raj Institution
Women in India are much better represented in the panchayat raj institutions as compared to the parliament. As per the
Ministry of Panchayat Raj , in 2008 the Gram Panchayat had 37.8% women members ,the Intermediate Panchayats 37 %
women members .The total representation of women in all three tiers of the Panchayat amounted to 36.87 % . This seems
to be a result of Article 243 D of the Indian constitution, mandating at least 1/3rd of the seats in all tiers of the Panchayat.
A further amendment to the Article was proposed in 2009 ,increasing to 50 % but was not passed .some states such as
Bihar have 50 % reservation for women in the Panchayat Raj as per the state Legislation ,but not all the states in India
have adopted similar legislations.

IV. ESTIMATE
Women in India have made major inroads in various male -dominated professions, included the governmental
bureaucracy. In the fields of business, medicine, engineering, law, art, and culture, women who were given opportunities
to acquire the necessary skills and education have proven themselves capable of holding their own, without availing of
any special measures to facilitate their entry. But they have failed to gain ground in the field of politics. Moreover, the
agenda of women's empowerment seems to have the kind of moral and political legitimacy it enjoyed during the freedom
movement, as was evident from the ugly scenes in the aftermath of tabling the women's Reservation Bill in Parliament.
Such a response would have been inconceivable in the India of the 1920s to the 1940s.
All the trends indicate that women's representation in politics requires special consideration, and cannot be left to the
forces that presently dominate our parties and government. Today, even the best of our female parliamentarians feel
sidelined and powerless within their respective parties. The few women in leadership positions have not been able to
encourage the entry of greater numbers of women in electoral and party politics, and are an ineffective minority within
their own respective political groupings. Therefore ,it is urgently required that we have take special measures to enhance
women's political participation in ways that help them influence decision -making at all levels of our society and polity.
Our democracy seriously flawed if it fails to yield adequate space to women.
