Mauritius: The challenge Will Be to Triple the Representation of Women in Politics
Submitted by iKNOW Politics on Fri, 2008-08-22 12:52.
Summary:
The challenge for the Mauritian general elections, which will take place in 2010, will be to ensure that the representation of women in politics triples. Currently, women comprise only 17% of the Parliament, 11.2% in municipalities and 5.2% in district councils. This project dovetails with the SADC Protocol on gender and development.
