Why don’t parties give enough tickets to women? Is that also due to lack of internal democracy?
Answer
The issue of political parties not giving enough tickets to women can be attributed to several factors:
- Many political parties are dominated by men in leadership positions just like our societies.
- Societal expectations and traditional gender roles often stereotype women as less suitable or capable for political leadership roles. This bias influences party leaders and selectors when considering candidates for election tickets.
- There are deeply ingrained norms and biases against women in leadership roles.
