Leadership
Women's Participation in Power and Decision-Making Structures
"The integration of women into the full range of the
decision-making process, including the highest levels of power in the state, is the only
means to attain full participation in the development process, their status of equality
vis-à-vis society, and their contribution to social peace and the enjoyment of that
state. The right to elect and to be elected to office by participating in the electoral
process and in its direct and indirect results is the very essence of the rights of
citizenship and is both the basis for, and the culmination of, all other social rights and
duties." (CIM Strategic Plan of Action 1995-2005)
