“In general, there are more than 70% of women in government and civil service, this is a fact.
But there are not enough leadership positions yet, ”Matvienko said.
According to her, the composition of the newly elected State Duma is being carefully analyzed.
“According to preliminary data, this is about 17% of women are deputies of the State Duma.
This is wrong, this is not correct.
54% are women in our population.
But it’s not about quantity.
It's a matter of quality, "added the speaker of the Federation Council.
She stressed that there are many worthy women in Russia who could represent, among other things, the women's agenda.
“Unfortunately, not all parties have responded to my call to create equal conditions in the election campaign.
And now we are analyzing the results of regional elections, we want to understand how this is happening at the regional level.
And we will not just leave it like that, ”said Matvienko.
She also said that following the results of the Eurasian Women's Forum, participants accept a document with specific proposals and send it to the heads of state and international organizations.
