Extractions: Background The national and local elections in Romania held in 2000 brought limited success for women politicians. Although an # improvement on the previous election, women representatives form only 7.1 and 8.5% of members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. In the local government elections held in June 2000, women candidates were more successful but women continue to be significantly under represented.

Extractions: Women's Marginal Role in Politics Madhu Kishwar These limitations were included solely because the British were only prepared for limited suffrage for those who possessed a certain amount of property and education. They were not willing to consider universal adult suffrage. When a meeting of representative women's organisations in 1930 drafted a memorandum demanding immediate acceptance of adult franchise without gender discrimination, it was turned down by the British government. The same demand received a totally different response from the Indian leaders. The very next year, in 1931, the Karachi session of the Indian National Congress took the historic decision committing itself to the political equality of women, regardless of their status and qualifications. This proposal met with virtually no opposition. Laws claiming to protect women's rights have seldom evoked the same amount of hostility or opposition in India that they provoke in many other countries of the world and get to be easily endorsed by the entire political spectrum. In fact, in India there is very little difference between parties of the right or left on women's issues. For instance, the BJP's current manifesto sounds even more progressive than the left parties on women's issues. People's Response Our country has had a well-entrenched tradition whereby a party, politician or public figure bad-mouthing women in public or opposing moves for women's empowerment are strongly disapproved of and usually rejected. As far as I can remember, among our male politicians, only Bal Thackeray of the Shiv Sena had the stupidity to make some brazenly anti-women statements some years ago. In the assembly elections that followed, his party suffered a major setback in Maharashtra, which was attributed to his indiscreet anti-women remarks, among other things. Because of this, very few politicians dare attack women from public platforms except when they are in direct electoral competition with a woman.

Extractions: Canadian women first gained the right to vote in Manitoba, on March 24th, 1916, making Manitoba the first province to allow women a role in democracy. Nationally women gained this right to vote on May 24, 1918. In 1929, women were finally considered "persons" by Canada. They were eligible to participate in many affairs of state, although it wasn't encouraged. Women had broken down many huge barriers in politics, but still had many more. Women slowly became active members of parliament, and today Canada has women party leaders and candidates for many positions in government. For instance, Alexa McDonough, Leader of the NDP Party of Canada and Premier of Prince Edward Island, is a well known female in Canadian Politics. Some other Women in politics are the Hon. Sheila Copps, first woman deputy prime minister. In Newfoundland, the first First woman elected to the House of Assembly, was Lady Helena E. (Strong) Squires. She was born in Little Bay Islands, Newfoundland in 1879, and died later in Toronto in the year 1959. Lady Helena Squires was born a twin, into a fishery supply family, and Married Richard Squires in 1905. Educated as a teacher, She later went on to battle for the better position of women in politics and society, although she was initially against granting women the right to vote during her husband's term as Prme Minister of Newfoundland. His term as Prime Minister was ironically during the women's suffrage movement in the early 1920's. Lady Squires was also the first president of the liberal party.

Wednesday, April 18, 2001. More women in politics. It appears that many womenturned to politics to solve problems they encountered in society.
http://www.mainichi.co.jp/english/news/opinion.html

Extractions: Mainichi Daily News Wednesday, April 18, 2001 More Women In Politics Voters in Shimamoto, Osaka Prefecture, recently elected eight women to their local assembly. With women occupying 44 percent of the assembly's 18 seats, Shimamoto has earned the distinction as the municipality with the highest rate of female representation in the nation. The success of Shimamoto's female candidates makes the belief that "politics is a man's occupation" seem awfully outdated. We welcome the gains made by the women candidates in Shimamoto as a step toward greater gender equality in politics. Shimamoto is a bedroom community near Osaka's border with Kyoto Prefecture. It has a population of nearly 30,000, and its women's groups have been quite active. Last year, Osaka's No. 10 district, which includes Shimamoto, elected Kiyomi Tsujimoto of the Social Democratic Party to the House of Representatives and also helped Miyoko Hida of the Democratic Party of Japan to office via a win in a proportional representation district. Female voters were the driving force behind the campaigns of these two women candidates. Shimamoto had the foundations in place to convince women that they could institute a change in politics by taking matters into their own hands. But politics is deadlocked in the Diet. One might say that this is the consequence of that body's domination by men. There is no doubt that the wind that has been blowing in the small town of Shimamoto will begin to affect local assemblies in various regions of the country and the Diet.

Non Governmental Organisation Co-ordinating Committee NGOCC Dr Inonge Mbikusita Lewanika challenged women to stop being used as donkeys for campaigns by selfish men who at the end of the day deny them participation and block them from decision making. " Women most of the times cook, sing or chant slogans, organise party cadres in campaigns but at the end of it all, they are not accorded a chance to participate equally, this must come to an end," Dr Lewanika said. This is the right time for women to rise and be counted in the political arena and offer their unique and valuable experiences, all they need to do is to have courage, she said.
