| This paper will explore two sets of relationships: between women and political parties, and between political parties and social movements that organize women. The focus of this paper will be on South Asia, with case studies of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India. The paper will address a range of issues concerning women, parties and movements in South Asia. First, what determines the success of political parties in recruiting, retaining and promoting women? A second issue concerns the strategies that parties adopt to gain womens support during elections. Third, what is the relationship between womens leadership and womens representation in political parties? From Srimavo Bandranaike to Chandrika Kumaratunga, Khaleda Zia, Sheikh Hasina, Indira Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto, South Asia has had the largest number of female heads of state of any region in the world. A fourth issue concerns relationship between political parties and social movements. How successful have womens movements been when they have tried to strengthen parties commitments to gender equality? | |
