Indigenous Women in Politics Worldwide

Research suggests that indigenous social movements and political organizations are typically male-dominated. Yet, we presently know little about the legislative representation of indigenous women around the world—even at a basic descriptive level. In this research, I explore the representation of women from indigenous groups in national legislatures worldwide. The project includes indigenous groups from all parts of the world, such as the Kuchis of Afghanistan, the Twa of Burundi, the Sami of Norway, and the Amazonian peoples of Brazil.
