The role of gender in political representation is crucial, as diverse governance leads to more inclusive policymaking. Women’s perspectives can influence legislation on issues such as healthcare, education, and social justice. Despite progress, gender disparities persist, limiting women's presence in political offices overall. Efforts to enhance gender representation include implementing quotas and promoting gender-sensitive policies to create equitable opportunities. Increasing women's representation not only enriches the political landscape but also strengthens democracy by ensuring that all voices are considered in public decision-making processes.
