Gender Equality in Parliament

São Tomé and Príncipe ranks among the 12 African countries with the lowest female representation in national parliaments, according to a recent report by Pulse.com.gh.

The country's political landscape remains heavily male-dominated, with women holding only a small fraction of parliamentary seats despite global advocacy for gender parity.

The findings come amid regional efforts to promote women's participation in governance and political decision-making processes across Africa.
