- Description
- Will gender balance in elected assemblies soon be reached? Around 100 years after women's suffrage was gained most countries are still at some distance from this goal. In 2013, the average representation of women in the world's parliaments was around 20 per cent. This book analyses the longitudinal development of women's political representation in eight old democracies, where women were enfranchised before and around World War I: Denmark, Iceland, Germany, The Netherlands, New Jersey (USA), New South Wales (Australia), Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These countries/states have all followed an incremental track model of change in women's position in political life, but have followed different trajectories. This slow development stands in contrast to recent examples of fast track development in many countries from the Global South, not least as a result of the adoption of gender quotas. Furthermore, the book discusses in four separate chapters the common historical development in old democracies, the different trajectories and sequences, the framing of women politicians, and the impact of party and party system change. In this book a new model of male dominance is developed and defined in terms of both degree and scope. Four stages are identified: male monopoly, small minority, large minority, and gender balance.

- Description
- This report takes stock of women’s representation in politics over a 25-year span, since the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women took place in Beijing in 1995. The overall percentage of women in parliaments increased from 11.3 per cent in 1995 to nearly 24.9 in 2020. However, nine countries still have less than 5 per cent women in their parliaments. The largest progress in women’s representation has been achieved by Rwanda, the United Arab Emirates, Andorra and Bolivia. Although Europe is no longer in the lead as a region, the Nordic countries are the only sub-region to have over 40 per cent women parliamentarians. Sixteen of the top 20 countries with the largest share of women in parliament in 2020, apply some type of gender quota. Other incentives include policies to promote women’s recruitment and a more gender-sensitive political culture.

- Description
- In 1919 kregen vrouwen actief kiesrecht en mochten ze stemmen. In de laatste decennia is het aantal vrouwen in de politiek toegenomen, maar de laatste vijf jaar lijkt er sprake te zijn van stagnatie of zelfs achteruitgang. Bij de verkiezingen in maart 2017 werd duidelijk dat slechts 36% van alle Kamerleden vrouwen zijn. In 2010 was dat aandeel nog 41%. .Nog steeds is er een wereld te winnen met de evenredige vertegenwoordiging van vrouwen in de politiek. Atria, kennisinstituut voor emancipatie en vrouwengeschiedenis, zet de meest recente cijfers op een rij. Met aandacht voor vrouwen in het parlement, gemeenten, provincies, waterschappen en bij de EU.

- Description
- Al-Tamimi studies study of women's political representation in Iraq. In the post-invasion period, the potential for Iraqi women to participate in the country's political structure has been one of its most notable results. The 2005 Constitution required that 25% of seats in the Iraqi Parliament be filled by women. Despite subsequent parliamentary statistics suggesting great strides for female political participation, there has been a resounding silence on the wider implications of this quota for women in Iraqi political life.

- Description
- The book addresses both theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding women's participation in politics as candidates, party members, elected representatives, cabinet ministers and leaders. It focuses on the presence of women in formal political institutions across a broad range of countries to demonstrate that women are, at last, beginning to exert pressure on political affairs by behaving differently from men.

- Description
- 'This study shows a troubling prevalence of gender-based violence against women national parliamentarians throughout the world. This includes not only psychological violence, deplorable wherever it occurs, but also other forms of violence – sexual, physical and economic. Even allowing for the complexity of the experiences recounted by the women surveyed, and the contexts in which they occurred, these findings suggest that such behaviour against women parliamentarians exists, to varying degrees, in every country, affecting a significant number of elected officials. Such violence impedes the ability of women parliamentarians to do their work freely and securely and has a dissuading effect on women’s political engagement in general.'
