Footnotes
- IPU is a partner organization of International IDEA. Chapter 6 details the
work of this organization in the field of enhancing women’s political participation.
- I am referring here to the rising religious conservatism – as witnessed for example through the religious right in the United States with the Christian Coalition, certain Islamist movements in some parts of the Arab World, and some Hindu Fundamentalists in India. Common arguments that run through this discourse have to do with women’s “proper roles” as mothers and wives, and the undermining of the legitimacy of much of what women have achieved thus far.
