Description and Table of Contents
Description
This publication looks at progress made in women's political participation, particularly since the 1995 Beijing conference. A concept chapter on "women's agency in governance" is followed by case studies, including the Indian experiment with constitutional amendments mandating the reservation of one third of local government-elected representation to women; the South African Women's Budget initiative; and Uganda's experience with new political alliances for gender and politics. The studies clearly show how, despite substantial obstacles, women decision-makers in developing countries have already begun to put a distinctive stamp on governance mechanisms, institutions and broader political debates.
