This book is about six women from Fiji, India, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia and the Philippines who entered the political arena to be involved in political decision making machineries, to influence and change political decisions, to be women’s voices and fulfill women’s rights. It describes their experiences and challenges in their efforts. This book is one of APWLD’s efforts through its Task Force on Women’s Participation in Political Processes to assist women in Asia Pacific to challenge existing political structures (such as electoral processes) and increase their representation at national and local levels; to increase the capacity of Asia Pacific women decision-makers to promote a feminist perspective and agenda in existing political processes.
