    Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Mary Fairio August 2014 © 2014 Mary Fairio. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea by MARY FAIRIO has been approved for the Department of Political Science and the College of Arts and Sciences by Julie White Associate Professor of Political Science Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract FAIRIO MARY, M.A., August 2014, Political Science Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea Director ofThesis: Julie White One area that presents challenge for democracy is women representation, an important dimension for gender equality. However, there are major variations among countries. Papua New Guinea is one of the countries with the lowest number of female representatives in parliament. Two questions are asked in regard to the representation of women. First, why is it difficult for women to be elected in Papua New Guinea? And second, how do we explain where women were able to challenge others to be elected? Formal institution such as the electoral system is just one way to discuss gender equality. There are other areas of gender inequality that interact with the formal system relating to social, cultural, and economic factors. An analysis of these factors shows that even improving formal institutions to increase the number of women in political participation, gender inequality is still a challenge within and outside the legislative office.

Overview Governance is essentially the process of decision-making and the ways in which decisions are implemented. It should be participatory, consensus-orientated, transparent, responsive as well as equitable and inclusive. To ensure that it upholds gender equality as a basic tenet, there has to be a critical mass of women in representational institutions, a key policy-making mechanism strategically placed in government to influence decision-making, and a strong civil society component working together with decision-makers to promote women‟s rights. This triangle of women‟s empowerment is absent in most Pacific island countries which in terms of women‟s parliamentary representation, are at the lowest end of the global scale.
