VOICED: Mujeres parlamentarias en Argelia

The recent legislative elections in Argelia highlighted the dominance of the National Liberation Front (FLN) and its ally, the RDN, securing a majority in the Assembly. A significant outcome was the increased presence of women, with 142 elected compared to 30 previously, due to a new law mandating female quotas in parties. This marks a pivotal moment for women's representation in Argelia, supported by the president. Historically, women have played crucial roles, notably during the liberation struggle. Meanwhile, Islamist parties faced setbacks, becoming a minority in parliament, and have contested the results, alleging fraud.
