By Emma Batha
Feb 14 (Thomson Reuters 創立／基礎) - The number of 女性（の） 国会議員s in Tunisia's 議会 is 始める，決める to 急落（する），激減（する） に引き続いて a 最近の 選挙 in the North African country, which has 伝統的に been seen as a leader on women's 権利s in the 地域.
初期の results 示唆する women will 持つ／拘留する just 16% of seats に引き続いて 投票（する）ing in December and January, によれば the Femmes et Leadership nonprofit organisation, 負かす／撃墜する from 26% in 2021 and 31% in 2018.
But the picture in Tunisia is at 半端物s with the 全世界の 傾向.
Just over one in four 国会議員s 全体にわたる are women, up from about one in five in 2011, によれば the の間の-議会の Union (IPU), a 全世界の organisation of 国家の 議会s that 跡をつけるs data on women's 代表.
The introduction of gender 割当s is a 重要な factor behind many 最近の 伸び（る）s, によれば the IPU.
More than two-thirds of countries that have passed the 40% 示す have some form of 割当, either for 候補者s or reserved seats.
But some other countries have seen little change. At the 現在の 率, gender parity in 国家の 法律を制定する 団体／死体s will not be 達成するd globally before 2063, によれば UN Women.
Here is a snapshot of 進歩 and rollbacks. The data 言及するs to the make-up of the lower 議会 in countries with （議会が）二院制の 議会s.
Countries 主要な the way:
Women （不足などを）補う at least half of 議会 in six countries, によれば IPU data.
Way out in 前線 is Rwanda, where women 持つ／拘留する more than 60% of seats and which in 2008 became the first country to have a 女性（の）-大多数 議会. Women also より数が多い men in Cuba (5 3%) and Nicaragua (52%).
New Zealand, Mexico and the 部隊d Arab 首長国s have an even gender 分裂（する）, while アイスランド, Costa Rica, Sweden and South Africa are not far off.
Countries doing 不正に:
底（に届く） of the 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） is Yemen, which does not have a 選び出す／独身 女性（の） 国会議員, while Vanuatu has just one.
Women 持つ／拘留する より小数の than 10% of seats in more than 20 countries 含むing Nigeria (3.6%), Qatar (4.4%) and Iran (5.6%).
にもかかわらず having the world's first 女性（の） 首相 in 1960, Sri Lanka is another laggard, with women only making up about 5% of 議会 for the last 25 years.
In Japan, which 階級s lowest の中で the world's big economies, women 持つ／拘留する just 10% of seats.
Countries making big strides:
The 部隊d Arab 首長国s did not have any women in its 連邦の 国家の 会議 before 2006, but 達成するd gender parity in 2019 に引き続いて a 大統領の 法令.
Dominica, Chad, Mali and Uzbekistan have also made 重要な 進歩 in 最近の years.
Countries that saw 伸び（る）s に引き続いて 選挙s last year 含む Australia, Colombia, Equatorial Guinea, Malta and Slovenia.
A new gender empowerment 法律 in Sierra Leone, where women 持つ／拘留する 13% of seats, will 確実にする they （不足などを）補う at least 30% of the 議会 and 閣僚 after 選挙s in June.
世界的な, only a fifth of 政府 大臣s are women - and they are often given 大臣の地位s 関係のある to 問題／発行するs such as health, family, social 事件／事情／状勢s and the 環境.
Countries which have 任命するd 女性（の）-大多数 閣僚s 含む Spain, Albania, Colombia and Rwanda.
Countries going backwards:
Algeria and Tunisia are the main backsliders globally.
In 2021, Algeria saw the 株 of women in 議会 落ちる from 26% to 8% に引き続いて changes to its 割当 system.
The 後退 （機の）カム にもかかわらず women accounting for 37% of 選挙 候補者s.
The IPU said changes to the 選挙 法律 were 悪化させるd by 露骨な／あからさまの 差別, with women's 直面するs often blurred in （選挙などの）運動をする 構成要素s and their photos 取って代わるd with blank avatars on 投票（する） papers.
In Tunisia, the 最新の 落ちる follows a previous 減少（する） in 2019. As in Algeria, women say changes to the 選挙（人）の system have made it harder for them to contest and 勝利，勝つ seats.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban Islamist group has erased women from public life since 掴むing the country in 2021.
Before the 引き継ぎ／買収, women had held 27% of seats in the now 消滅した／死んだ 国家の 議会. Many former women MPs have fled the country. Sources: IPU, World Bank, UN Women
