Guarantees for Promoting Women's Participation In Politics in International Treaties

Abstract

Women’s participation in decision making continues to be a subject of debate and receives the attention of international community and the attention of democracy and human rights activists given that women are considered half the society. However, human civilization has lived for long periods of time without recognizing the true role of women and has not granted them their rights fairly compared to the other half of the society, which affected women’s participation in public life and their political, civilized and cultural output and resulted in women and feminists movements having to fight for long periods of time for the recognition of women as humans who have the full human and basic rights and as fully qualified citizens. Although there were improvements in many aspects of Women’s position in society , the prevailing societal, cultural and legal structures, which often are considered sacred, continue to deepen discrimination against women, particularly, in the Arab region, which continued the gender discrimination against women and this required the international community to strongly stand with women to guarantee women’s rights both locally and internationally and to eliminate any discrimination against them, which guarantees securing local and international protection of women’s rights in all aspects of life, in particular, political participation and attaining to public office with no restrictions or obstacles on the way.
