HACIA EL PERFECCIONAMIENTO DE LA REPRESENTACIÓN POLÍTICA DE LAS MUJERES EN BOLIVIA
Abstract
Resumen: La representación política de las mujeres en Bolivia, actualmente, es proporcional a la cantidad de mujeres existentes con relación a los hombres. Esto se logró mediante la implementación de una política de paridad de género, en un proceso progresivo que inició en 1997. Sin embargo, esos avances son positivos únicamente en los órganos legislativos, ya que en los Ejecutivos las mujeres enfrentan similar desventaja a la que enfrentaron en los Legislativos durante el siglo pasado. Es necesario, por ello, perfeccionar esa política de equidad de género en ambos órganos de gobierno: el Legislativo y el Ejecutivo.
