Draft Programme-The Role of Women in Traditional and Minority Governance Structures downloadWomen experience discrimination in various forms in accessing and maintaining leadership and decision-making positions. The virtual workshop held in September 2021 revealed that this phenomenon is even more pronounced in traditional and minority contexts. The general trend is a reluctance from states to interfere in the management of cultural minorities directly. As a result, discussions and debates on the position of women in leadership and decision-making structures within their communities ae often carried out without consideration of the gender dimension. Instead, discourses generally focus on understanding the extent and magnitude of the discrimination that women within such groups face but rarely on how they could or should be empowered to claim leadreship positions, especially from a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective.
