Some of these factors can be directly addressed by a proportional representation system. If properly implemented, it would ensure a far greater representation of women in the National Assembly. It would ensure each party has to seek out strong and effective women for national political life. It will naturally mean our national political parties will have to think more about how best to attract women to their lists. Proportional representation might not be the silver bullet for absolute equal representation, but it can certainly level the playing field.
