As MPs did not receive it by hand when women’s NGOs prepared a demand note after a discussion on increasing women’s participation in decision making on March 7, the National Alliance of MonFemnet, the Center for Citizens’ Alliance, the Center of Human Rights and Development and Women Leaders Foundation has now sent it to all 76 MPs by post.

The note demands women’s active involvement in all decision making as they constitute 50% of the country’s population and number of tax payers. The women’s organizations want politicians in power to accept this basic principle of societal justice as stressed in international agreements and convention. They especially want a quota for women in next year’s parliamentary election.
