Focusing on the impact of institutional reforms, this volume examines the dynamics of gender-related policies and the roles of various actors in enhancing women's political participation in Bangladesh. It highlights the significance of the 1997 Local Government Act, which reserved one-third of seats for women in local government, marking a pivotal shift in political engagement. The discussion is framed by the commitments made during the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women, exploring the necessity and context of these reforms and their effects on women's roles in local governance.
