Gradually increase the representation of women to 50% in all decision-making bodies, from Parliament to local government institutions.

Why this status

Parliament reports 22 women MPs in the Tenth Parliament, up from 12 in the Ninth, but this is about 9.8% of 225 seats and remains far below the 50% target. Official policy continues to call for equal representation, so this is measurable progress without target delivery.
