I didn't add India to the list of countries currently with women leaders as Sonia Gandhi chose not to lead although she heads the party that won the last elections - but I did add India to the list of countries that have had women leaders in the past.

Argentina, Sri Lanka, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, Indonesia, Mongolia, Bolivia, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Ecuador, Georgia, India, Dominica, Central African Republic, Pakistan, Turkey, Senegal, Sao Tome & Principe, Burundi, Rwanda, and Peru are all other majority world countries that have had female leaders at some point.

Incidentally - currently the county with the most equal parilament in terms of a male/female split is Rwanda. Sometimes it is the places we least expect that have the most to teach us.


Good research...I think you will also find that the displaced Tibetan government has a high ratio of women...only, because it has no official country, this may not show up in National/International research....

"The legal codes of old Tibet stipulated: "Women are not to be granted the right to discuss state affairs." This situation is now no longer to be found in new Tibet. In 1996 female deputies to the Tibet Autonomous Region People's Congress made up 20 percent* of the total. Now Tibet has 573 women cadres at or above the county level, and some Tibetan female judges, procurators, police officers and lawyers for the first time in Tibetan history."

(* - Figure bolded by me. I believe the total percentage has now risen, during the last 11 years...).

Thank you, most interesting....
