“Campaign finance laws can assist or disadvantage women, depending
on their provisions.”[1] Limiting campaign budgets by law can contribute to reducing inequalities
among contestants and enhancing women’s access to the political process. Also, political and campaign finance legislation can establish TSM
as an incentive to ensure increased public funding to political parties that
present more women in their candidate lists, or as a sanction for parties with
a low representation of women among their candidates.
