Achieving gender equity in politics faces numerous challenges, including institutional barriers, gender bias, and socio-economic inequalities. Women remain underrepresented in political offices and decision-making roles, often due to a lack of access to resources, networks, and support systems that facilitate political participation. Societal norms may also discourage women's involvement in politics, further entrenching disparities. To address these challenges, initiatives such as quotas and mentorship programs can promote women's representation. Fostering a more inclusive political landscape is crucial to ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered in policy-making.
