1 March 2008 The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral
Assistance (IDEA) has released the report entitled “30 Years of
Democracy: Riding the Wave? Women’s Political Participation in
Latin America. The report draws data from 18 countries in the
Latin American region, exams the progress made in women’s participation in
politics, and gives statistics on women’s political representation in areas
which were before exclusive to men. The
study analyzes the progress achieved by women in certain posts, why some
countries have advanced more than others, presents the obstacles encountered
by women and offers recommendations for improving women’s situation in public
life. |
