Across India, women are emerging as a decisive electoral force. Whether it is turnout numbers surpassing men in many states or women-led movements driving change, the political landscape is shifting. Our field studies show that women voters prioritise issues like local safety, healthcare access, and welfare schemes. Campaigns that listen to women — not just address them — are seeing stronger loyalty and deeper trust. In the next decade, women may well become the single most influential constituency in Indian politics.
