Recommendation 24 (Women) Nicaragua 2011

http://aceproject.org/ero-en/regions/americas/NI/nicaragua-final-report-general-elections-eu/at_download/file

Thanks to the respect for gender equality in the FSLN candidate lists, the 2011 elections marked a significant improvement in women’s representation within the National Assembly. However, candidate lists for other parties and alliances maintained the under-representation of women that is unfortunately widespread in the region. In line with the Law on Equal Opportunities, equality between men and women should be respected when drawing up candidate lists and it would be useful for all political parties to apply this principle. Equitable representation could be established by the introduction of a quota system in the electoral law.
