POLITICAL PARTIES SHOULD FILL IN WOMEN CANDIDATES
IN THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

I believe and support the motion that “political parties should fill in women applicants in
the next presidential election”. We can decide to agree or disagree with the concept that
a woman can run for president. We see that at the turn of the 21st century, almost every
country in the world provides the right for women to participate in politics. Women make
up 1/2 of the populace in the world, they can vote and support candidates. But despite
those facts, they're now no longer properly represented in politics, in comparison to
men.

Women’s participation in politics is a core factor in changing political institutions around

the world. Women’s experience with politics as well as informal politics such as in
legislatures, elections, local councils, and political parties substantially modified matters
around them. Additionally, women’s admittance to authority and decision-making power
in political institutions is important to accomplishing gender equality in the long run.
Women’s political empowerment became a clarion in the seventies, grounded on
assumptions concerning how this would help to change things for every woman.

Women have the right to participate in political processes that affect them, their families,
and their societies. Countries with increased women’s participation and leadership in
civil society and political parties tend to be more inclusive, responsive, egalitarian, and
democratic. When women meaningfully participate in peace processes, they can help to
expand the scope of agreements and improve the prospects for durable peace.

Women in politics would change the nature of authority and politics via more
accountable, consultative, and transparent political practices. In other terms, that
woman would practice politics differently and use power accountably. In essence,
women’s participation in politics would help to change things in the world around them.
Women’s Power in oppressive social interactions, those who have power is too
frequently capable of closing options, even the thought of options so that the status quo
looks impossible and inevitable to change.

The enormous power of movements comprising women has been their capability to
oppose such thinking and to dispute not only that change must come but also that many
things are possible to change. Women should never hesitate for a moment that every
one of them when they work jointly can challenge injustice head-on and establish an
atmosphere for change. Women have most of the time drawing on the authority of
combined action to alter the world. Indeed, women’s battles for justice and gender
equality contribute to some of history’s most spectacular revolutions in societal
relations.

They have managed to challenge oppression and injustices in societal relations across
the world in a manner that is critical to building peace, development, and democracy
which is sustainable. This magnitude of development of the world’s women reveals what
is at the center of the revolution; women struggle to hold both private and public
authorities answerable for meeting acceptable standards of gender impartiality. When
justice and answerability ultimately prevent gender prejudice, power systems will
expand as well, and not limit women.

Women have proven that they have the capability to change the world; For instance, the
achievements of Chile’s first female leader addressed numerous issues affecting
women by legalizing divorce, establishing free pre-kindergarten, building houses for
abused women, ending sexual harassment, and is presently attempting to pass an
equivalent pay regulation. These policies positively women from all walks of life and
altered the dynamics of the relationship with their male counterparts. Effect of Women in
Politics Some studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of women in
politics at the lower level. Women make a different decision that is better and aimed at
addressing issues affecting them.

For instance, a study on how men and women holding public offices spend their
resources revealed that women tend to spend more money on education and water
while men spent more on transportation and road-building. This shows significant
differences in how resources are spent with women spending their share on what is
more important to society. In countries such as Rwanda, women comprise almost half of
the national assembly, putting the nation in the top position amongst countries with the
highest percentage of women in parliament.
Following the horrendous genocide fourteen years ago, women were called to assist in
rewriting the country’s laws because it was assumed that they were preferable to the
procedure of reconciliation compared to men. These women utilized their authority to
establish concrete alterations in policy that would straightforwardly affect the lives of
women. Consequently, women can presently labor without permission from their
husbands, inherit property, and established a regulation, whereby thirty percent of
parliamentary positions should be held by them.

Women are not only champions of social equality buts its actual architects. In
Conclusion; It is almost an undeniable fact that if women headed the country, everything
would be transformed. Politics would become more collegial, enterprises would be more
profitable or productive and societies would be better. Active participation of women in
politics would make the globe a better place. It is certainly easy to contend that men
haven’t done much in politics. The previous century was in fact the bloodiest period
known in world history, and for long, this has been a story of terrorism, abject poverty,
war, religious extremism and disease. With these points of mine I hope I have been able
to convince you that political parties should fill in women candidates in the next
presidential election
