BELLOTT LOPEZ, Carlos. TOWARDS THE PERFECTING OF THE POLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN BOLIVIA. Punto Cero [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.44, pp.39-55.  Epub June 31, 2022. ISSN 1815-0276.  https://doi.org/10.35319/puntocero.202244190.

The political representation of women in Bolivia is currently proportional to the number of existing women in relation to men. This was achieved through the implementation of a gender parity policy, in a progressive process that began in 1997. However, these advances are only positive in the legislative bodies, since in the Executive, women face a similar disadvantage to the one they faced in the legislature during the last century. Therefore, it is necessary to perfect this gender equity policy in both government bodies: the Legislative and the Executive.

Keywords : Women’s political participation; women’s political representation; gender parity and alternation; parity democracy; women in political office.
