The Reality and Prospects of Women's Parliamentary Representation in Algeria

Abstract

 Within the political reforms in Algeria, the position of women is consolidated in the political field through which we name << quota system>> or << share>> which emerged by virtue of the Algerian constitutional modification of the year 1996. It has been ratified by the Algerian legislator by virtue of the organic law, considering that seats have been reserved to woman, in the parliamentary field with its two chambers weak and decent. This is a posit if development estimated to the firm ,the constitution and the legislator together ,Algeria has accompanied a great number of the developed countries with it in this field ,afterwards the political participation has been reserved only to men. But we observe concerning the precedent constitution that it has not expressly prohibited to woman to have the right to candidature, however which characterize the constitutions is the generality, concerning the juridical field there is no prohibition to woman in the political life. The organic law is only a tautology to support women in the political field.
