Algeria

Most Algerians are for separating men and women in the workplace, citing sexual harassment concerns.

Rabat - A new report by the Arab Barometer has revealed that an overwhelming 76% majority of Algerians believe that men are better political leaders than women.

Young men and women candidates running for Algeria’s upcoming legislative elections are considered an asset amid a predicted record low turnout.

Analysts fear people might abstain from voting and repeat what happened in 2019, when voter turnout for the country’s presidential elections was under 40%.

An opposition party in Algeria two weeks ago unveiled a parliamentary electoral list composed entirely of women.

Parties in Bordj Bou Arreridj Province had been showing hijabs surrounding blank spaces alongside photos of male candidates.

Algerian law requires the next parliament to be made up of 30 percent women — but political parties across the spectrum have struggled to come up with enough female candidates to fill the quota.
