The article overviews the Lithuanian situation concerning women‘s political representation. It highlights that women are eligible and elected to practically any important decision making position in the political sphere. Three major blocks of obstacles (political, socioeconomic and cultural) met by women aspiring to power in any society are described and commented. The emphasis is placed on removing political obstacles from the path leading to greater gender equality. In particular, the meaning and usefulness of the instrument of gender quotas is discussed. Based on empirical observation, academic research and recommendations of the international expert community, it is argued that the gender quotas are the most relevant and adequate tool to rapidly redress imbalances of gender representation in the European democratic politics. |
