dc.description.abstractNumbers do not necessarily translate into legislative or budgetary gains for women’s rights in development. Region by region, this incisive paper examines election results and outcomes for women. It considers women’s political participation - including mobilization around issues, NGO and informal activity for advancing women’s rights, and political advocacy - in looking for explanations of outcomes. It engages the “critical mass” hypothesis to ascertain whether one third of the parliamentary seats in the regions under examination have delivered critical changes for women’s rights in terms of legislative or resource allocation outcomes. This paper points to further and emerging research areas which demand attention, because silence pervades the subject area.en
