While the proportion of women in the post-communist world’s parliaments has been slowly rising, they remain woefully under-represented in high legislative positions and in government than in many Western European countries.
An argument can be made that this is still the case in the new-ish Czech government and parliament:
Number of women in the cabinet: Zero.
Number of women committee chairs in the lower house of Parliament: 3 of 17;
… in the Senate: 1 of 8.
Women make up 22 percent of the members in the lower chamber and 19 percent of the Senate.
