Using both quantitative and qualitative data, we find that less than 10% of female parliamentarians in each parliament have prior councilor experience and most of them occupy quota seats. The low upward mobility of female councilors to parliament may be due to the difficulty of winning constituency seats, affected by gender stereotypes, and the availability of other pathways to parliament, such as party leadership and commissioner positions. 2024-04-02T08:38:52Z 2024-04-02T08:38:52Z 2024 Article APA https://doi.org/10.1177/00219096241228867 https://scholar.mzumbe.ac.tz/handle/123456789/530 en application/pdf Journal of Asian and African Studies |
