Proportion of Seats Held by Women in National Parliaments in Arab Countries

The "Percentage of Seats Held by Women in National Parliaments (%)" indicator measures the proportion of parliamentary seats in a unicameral parliament or House of Representatives held by women and reflects women's representation in political decision-making. A higher percentage indicates a greater level of gender equality in political representation. The chart displays the percentage of seats held by women in the national parliaments of seven Arab countries (Morocco, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Tunisia, Bahrain, and Lebanon) over a decade from 2013 to 2022. Countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, and Tunisia stand out with higher percentages of female representation, while Lebanon and Bahrain have lower percentages.
