Abstract

In Sri Lanka, there is an increased political awareness, higher voter turnout, and active participation at election propaganda among women but their representation in the elected bodies is pitifully low. Women have been excluded from key governing institutions and pushed into the second-class citizens. Despite the fact that Sri Lanka has had seven decades of independence and democracy, politics still continues to be dominated by men and thereby causing constraints for women to participate actively in governance. This chapter examines the issue of gender imbalance or women’s minimal representation in elected bodies at national and provincial levels in Sri Lanka. It identifies different factors, especially political, socio-cultural, economic, and psychological, that tend to block women’s entry into parliament and other elected bodies.
