Focusing on the institutional reforms in Bangladesh, the book examines the dynamics of gender-related policies and the roles of various actors in enhancing women's political participation. It highlights the significance of the 1997 Local Government Act, which reserved one-third of seats for women in local councils, marking a pivotal step towards gender equality following the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women. The research explores the necessity for such reforms, the context of their implementation, and their impact on women's involvement in local governance.
