Gender Quotas and Their Impact on Legislative Representation

Quick fact

As of 2023, Rwanda has the highest proportion of women in parliament, at over 60%, largely due to a constitutional quota that reserves 30% of seats for women – a reminder that quotas can swiftly reshape legislative bodies.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a parliament where half the people are women, but they hold only 20% of the seats. What does it take to fix that? Could a simple rule change transform a legislature?
