性別主流化：女性在地方的政治參與

1979年聯合國通過「消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約，CEDAW」，旨在落實婦女人權保障，並融入國際性別主流化及與國際人權體系。1995年於北京召開之第四次世界婦女大會，正式確認「性別主流化為各國政府施政之準繩，女性與公共參與是其一。台灣於2007年，立法院通過「消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約」，2009年撰寫初次的國家報告。2011年，立法院通過「消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約施行法」。儘管2008年立法委員女性比例已達30.1%，居亞洲之冠。然而，鄉鎮縣轄市長村里長的女性比例，持續偏低。因此，本文目的以性別敏感度觀點，檢視國際和台灣女性的政治參與，特別是地方層級，並以桃園：提高女性參與村里長選舉案例，討論具體落實台灣女性在地方的政治參與策略。
