Our voices: Women's political participation, Burundi

Source:

Film: Burundi has one of the highest allocations of seats in parliament for women, numbering 36% of all MPs. There is also a 30% quota policy for women's political participation at lower levels of the administration. 

Despite this progress, women's voices are not always heard.
