El camino hacia la paridad: evaluación de las cuotas de participación política de las mujeres en América Latina
Summary: The article transcribes the lecture given by Ms. Line Bareiro (at the Electoral Supreme Tribunal of Costa Rica) in which introduces the results of an investigation conducted by two departments of the Inter- American Institute of Human Rights (IIHR), CAPEL and Civil Society, with the aim of both seeking information from the electoral bodies of the 11 countries in the region that include political participation quotas (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and the Dominican Republic) and trying to understand that there exist elements far beyond percentage, that play a role in the representation of men and women outcome. For comparative purposes between these countries, from which dissimilar results were obtained despite having similar quota systems, the researchers examined the constitutional and electoral legal system related to political participation, as well as the quota regulation and the electoral system, the legislation enforcement responsible agencies and their practices and outlined the review of claims and judicial trials both at the national and at the Inter-American System levels. Finally, they analyzed special cases tending to parity as well as legislative advancements that move from the compensatory quota system to one of parity.
