women's representation

The Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia (EFFL) argue that requiring political parties to field 30 percent female candidates will not alone boost women's representation in the National Legislature. The party proposes adopting a proportional representation electoral system as a more effective solution.

India's government failed to pass a constitutional amendment to increase women's representation in parliament, as the opposition accused the BJP-led government of using the bill to redraw electoral boundaries. This marks the first time in 12 years that a BJP-proposed constitutional amendment was not passed by parliament.
