The issue of women’s lack of participation in political processes and decision-making positions is considered one of the greatest problems facing women’s presence in the public sphere; as well as the ratification of her rights. Women’s rate of participation differs from one country to the other, depending on the social and cultural realities, and laws of each country.

Naza for Feminist Studies today released a brochure to present short profiles about 16 female candidates for the People’s Assembly elections 2011/2012 that Nazra for Feminist Studies worked with through the Women Political Participation Academy that Nazra launched in October 2012

The profile if each candidate in the brochure include the name, age, job, type of candidacy, political history and the election result. You can read the brochure by clicking here.
