Gender Equity in Tibetan Public Affairs: New Thoughts on a Democracy in Progress

Gender Equity in Tibetan Public Affairs: New Thoughts on a Democracy in Progress

by Dr. B. Tsering
Reagan Fascell Democracy Fellow and Member of Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile

While great strides have been made in promoting democracy in the Tibetan exile community, B. Tsering’s research suggests that women are, for the most part, still missing from Tibetan exile decision-making processes. B. Tsering discusses new findings and recommendations about: How to understand the development of democratic culture in the absence of women’s voices? And what can be done to advance gender equality in the Tibetan public affairs?
