The Mahila Aarakshan Bill 2023 is a proposed bill in India that aims to reserve one-third of the seats in the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and state legislative assemblies for women. The bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on September 19, 2023, and if passed, it will reserve 33% of the seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. The bill also proposes to reserve one-third of the seats for women in the Delhi Legislative Assembly. The bill has raised concerns among some members of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) community, who fear that it may reduce their representation in the legislative bodies. The bill is currently being debated in the Lok Sabha, and if passed, it will become law after receiving the Presidents approval. The bill is expected to be implemented after the new delimitation exercise, which is scheduled to take place after the 2024 general elections.
