Women's Political Participation

Women’s political participation refers to the engagement of women in political processes, including voting, running for office, and influencing policies. Historically, women have faced barriers such as discrimination and societal norms that limited their roles in politics. However, increased awareness and advocacy have led to greater representation and participation, especially in recent decades. Women bring diverse perspectives and experiences to governance, which can enhance decision-making and promote equality. Encouraging women's political involvement is essential for a balanced democracy and can lead to more equitable policies that address the needs of all citizens.
