Local Self-Governance Bodies in the OSCE Countries
According to the 2016 data, the average indicator of women’s representation in local self-governance bodies of the OSCE countries is 36%. Women make up 5-25% of the total number of community heads, according to the Compendium of Good Practices for Advancing Women’s Political Participation in the OSCE Region. It should be noted that back in 1999 the Council of Europe Congress of Local and Regional Authorities adopted a resolution, which envisages to provide for a balanced representation of women and men at the level of local decision making.
