التمثيل السياسي للمرأة الجزائرية : من نظام الكوتا إلى مبدأ المناصفة

Abstract EN

2021.

The principle of equality between men and women, particularly as regards political rights, is enshrined in international and regional human rights conventions in general, and in women's rights in particular.

Successive Algerian constitutions have affirmed this principle, which has been embodied in national legislation.

However, reality has revealed that there are many barriers that prevent women from exercising their political rights, a situation that has led to low representation of women in elected assemblies.

Because of this limited representation, the 2008 constitutional revision, "promoted women's political rights by increasing their chances of representation in elected assemblies.

" This initiative was effectively implemented by the "quota" system introduced by the Organic Law 12.

03.

The constitutional amendments of 2016 and 2020 were in the same vein.

However, the 21-01 electoral law ended the era of quotas by imposing the application of the "principle of parity" between men and women.

The result was a terrible decline in the representation of women in the 2021 parliamentary elections.
