Limits of Women's Right to Assume Senior Positions
Abstract
One of the constitutional foundations recognized in countries is the guarantee of women's rights in various fields. One prominent right is equality with men in assuming senior positions. In addition, the constitutional enshrinement of this right is one of the guarantees of any democratic system because democracy means the participation of everyone and equal opportunities away from the exclusion of anyone because of sex, religion, or other reasons. The phenomenon of the widening of women's participation in political life requires the presence of women and their representation in public authorities. This presence constitutes an activation of a constitutional right common to countries with democratic constitutional systems. The right to assume senior positions, despite being constitutionally organized in the core of the constitution, faces a number of obstacles, most notably the provisions of the constitution itself or the electoral system, in addition to factors related to the weak representation of women in political parties as well as the impact of political sectarianism.
