"Women’s Political Participation in Myanmar Parliaments under the 2010 Election and 2015 Election" Khin Mar Aye "The USDP (Union Solidarity and Development Party) government began to reform social, economic and political affairs as its transition from military government to civilian government. Women’s participation in Myanmar politics is a fundamental role for gender equality and democracy. According to 2018 gender inequality index, Myanmar was ranked as 148 of the 189 countries. The National Strategic Plan for females recognized a main priority as ensuring females’ political participation and leadership role in the government and civil societies. The role of Myanmar women in parliaments is more limited than that of other ASEAN countries. But the number of elected female representatives in the 2015 election (13.7percent) are more increased than in the 2010 election (6 percent). However, Myanmar females still have faced with challenges and difficulties to their representation and equal participation in political and public sectors. This paper explores the situation of women’s participation in Myanmar parliaments by the result of 2010 and 2015 general elections." 2022-08-12 https://meral.edu.mm/records/8376
