Women in Parliament

Women in Parliament refers to the proportion of female representatives who participate in the legislative process by holding elected positions in a country's parliamentary system. This metric reflects gender diversity and equality in political representation, indicating progress toward inclusive governance. Higher female representation can influence policy decisions, promote gender-sensitive laws, and serve as a sign of enhanced gender equality within a society. It is often used to assess how well democratic institutions incorporate women’s voices and ensure balanced participation in decision-making processes.
