N2  - Describes the barriers to women's political participation and explains why the contribution of women is so crucial to democracy. Identifies established strategies- electorial reform (New Zealand), party voluntary quotes (South Africa), and legislative quotas (Bangladesh and India)- that have helped these Commonwealth of countries to meet the global target of 30 per cent and therefore effectively advance the participation of women in decision-making at all levels
