INTERNATIONAL: Empowering Women in the Political Process

During the panel discussion, the participants talked about the gaps that currently exist between men and women in politics, the various reasons for them—from culture and tradition to lack of help with childrearing, and the societal ramifications of lacking women in politics. They also discussed the benefits of different ways to overcome these limitations including establishing quotas for women in government and tactics that can be used to overcome stigmas.
