Democracy is defined as “a government by the people; a
form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and
exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral
system. After reading and doing some research on Gender Equality and Democracy,
I have learned that the democratic ideals of transparency, accountability and
inclusiveness can’t and will not be achieved without a sense of law and
direction. Having policies in place to address practices of different measures
also that directly speak out against gender inequalities. As a democracy we
should set aside the viewpoints of men and women so we can allow ourselves to
use social, political and economic fabrics of our societies. So not only just
for women but our future and confidence in young women to be able to reach
their full potential and be held to the same standards as men .In order for
gender equality to exist in today world as a state and government we have to
void out and remove obstacles that hinder women from taking a stronger stance
that denies women the right to communicate effectively.

If women are able to
in a civil society, debate and address commonly on different positions regards
to the constitution and electoral laws. If democracy continues to disregard
women voices and opinions and their rights, it would continue to be a democracy
for half its citizens.
