5. Lack of opportunities especially in rural areas where they were considered to do only household works. They don't get equal and fair opportunities.

6. Seats have been reserved in the panchayats and municipal corporations for women but still, the problem comes out is that during the election or after election women can't exercise power instead their husbands take their full power and responsibility. Which is completely unfair.

7. Even the women are not contesting the election herself she is not free to vote according to her choice. Her family's senior member decide that.

8. Lack of awareness about elections and their importance is also a major factor. And in some stances, they don't take it seriously because they don't know the actual power of election.

8. By Orthodox politics is not considered a field of women due to dirty practices.
