In March 2014, the Parliament is composed of twenty- six female deputies. Thirteen of them are deputies of the Socialist Party; nine are member of the Democratic Party and four deputies of ?Levizja Socialiste per Integrim?. Dibra , Kukes and Gjirokastra have no female representative in the Assembly. Regions of the north bring only five women as representatives in the assembly against eleven deputies of the southern regions and ten other deputies from three regions of the center of Albania. <\/p>\n<p>Even in Tirana as the region with more deputies and consequently with more female deputies, the representation of 30 % level is still far away from the current actual representation which stands at around 17 % . In March 2014 the representation of women in parliament stands at 18.6 %.<\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdExfOUNmcGI2Tm5DNGxBNXY1ZF8wQmc&transpose=0&headers=0&range=C8%3AD19&gid=0&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#000\",\"fontSize\":16},\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"colors\":[\"#3366CC\",\"#DC3912\",\"#FF9900\",\"#109618\",\"#990099\",\"#0099C6\",\"#DD4477\",\"#66AA00\",\"#B82E2E\",\"#316395\",\"#994499\",\"#22AA99\",\"#AAAA11\",\"#6633CC\",\"#E67300\",\"#8B0707\",\"#651067\",\"#329262\",\"#5574A6\",\"#3B3EAC\",\"#B77322\",\"#16D620\",\"#B91383\",\"#F4359E\",\"#9C5935\",\"#A9C413\",\"#2A778D\",\"#668D1C\",\"#BEA413\",\"#0C5922\",\"#743411\"],\"width\":630,\"is3D\":true,\"pieSliceText\":\"value\",\"hAxis\":{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Horizontal axis title\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},\"vAxes\":[{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"pieHole\":0,\"title\":\"Female Deputies in Parliament by Region March 2014\",\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"height\":371,\"tooltip\":{}},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"PieChart\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 1\"}\n  <\/script><br \/><sup>Source: Assembly &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Among the 21 countries taken under consideration, Denmark holds the first place regarding the higher participation of women in politics by 39.1%. <\/p>\n<p>Albania is represented by women in only 18.6% of the total while the neighboring countries of the region have crossed the 20% level using a standard target mainly of the European countries with gender representation at 20%. Only Turkey, Romania and Hungary record results lower than our country. This figure is an indication not only of the democracy of a country, but also of improving gender equality between men and women.<\/p>\n<p>Another indicator of representation is the low percentage of women elected in local level as in municipalities and communes. With only eleven women as mayors of communes or 1.5% of the total, and three mayors of municipalities or in representation level only 4.6%, the representation of women in electoral processes remains at low levels.<\/p>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/static\/modules\/gviz\/1.0\/chart.js\">{\"dataSourceUrl\":\"\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/tq?key=0Agylwmr5tEbVdExfOUNmcGI2Tm5DNGxBNXY1ZF8wQmc&transpose=0&headers=1&range=B151%3AC172&gid=0&pub=1\",\"options\":{\"vAxes\":[{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Value in %\",\"minValue\":null,\"logScale\":false,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null},{\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"minValue\":null,\"logScale\":false,\"viewWindow\":{\"min\":null,\"max\":null},\"maxValue\":null}],\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#000\",\"fontSize\":16},\"booleanRole\":\"certainty\",\"title\":\"% Of women in parliament against the total number of deputies in comparison with countries in the region in 2013\",\"height\":371,\"animation\":{\"duration\":500},\"legend\":\"right\",\"width\":630,\"hAxis\":{\"titleTextStyle\":{\"bold\":true,\"color\":\"#222\",\"italic\":true,\"fontSize\":12},\"useFormatFromData\":true,\"title\":\"Country\",\"minValue\":null,\"viewWindowMode\":null,\"viewWindow\":null,\"maxValue\":null},\"tooltip\":{},\"isStacked\":false},\"state\":{},\"view\":{},\"isDefaultVisualization\":false,\"chartType\":\"ColumnChart\",\"chartName\":\"Chart 5\"}\n  <\/script><br \/><sup>Source: United Nations (<a href=\"unstat.un.org\">unstat.un.org<\/a>)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br \/>Comments and analysis: ODA&nbsp; <\/sup><br \/> \n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Data Albania is conducting a research on the participation of women in politics in function of the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women in representative functions.
