Brussels – LUDEN January 2013

This overview explores the participation of women in Slovak politics from 2010 to 2012, emphasizing the election dynamics and the gradual increase in female representation. Despite a significant rise in registered female candidates, with 26.2% in the 2012 elections, only 16% were elected. Factors influencing voting preferences highlight women's unique political behaviors, suggesting a need for reforms in preferential voting and gender equality initiatives. Key discussions include the impact of Prime Minister Iveta Radičová and the critical "Radičovej effect" on public perception of women in leadership.
