Zhakan Nursat will speak on the topic: “Political representation of women: successes and challenges towards equality”.
Gender equality is one of the basic human rights, which means that men and women have the same and equal opportunities and potential to develop themselves in all spheres of life. For a long time, politics has been a field of males, while females were kept away from politics for centuries. There always existed a debate on whether females can be political leaders and occupy senior positions in politics. Governments thought that only men should be dominant in the political scene and the representation of women in power was quite poor due to the number of challenges that they faced in a male society. The major aspects, which significantly affect the political participation of females, include such factors as culture and gender inequality. Culture predominantly influences the role of females, as their status, role and behavior are dictated by society that excludes females from the political arena. Even so, at the present day the number of women in political positions of power have begun to increase.
