GIGA Forum | Women in Parliaments Worldwide: Strategies to the Top?

In this GIGA Forum, experts discuss global differences regarding women’s representation in parliaments and its causes. Drawing on their expertise from different contexts in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, they identify reasons for women’s political presence or exclusion, and assess strategies to increase the number of women in politics.

Across the world, women’s representation in parliaments varies widely. While in Rwanda and New Zealand women make up more than half of their respective country’s legislatures, in Nigeria and Japan, women comprise a small minority in parliament. In some countries, the number of women in legislatures is stagnating, whereas in South Africa and Senegal women have quickly attained high levels of parliamentary representation. What can we learn from different developments across the globe about how to increase the number of women in parliaments?
