| Abstract | ||
| Nowadays, the concept of women's right to political empowerment is one of the new ideas that has been adopted by the United Nations to be a cornerstone of its development system. This concept means integrating women into the political decision-making process and the exercise of their human rights to ensure effective and influential political participation, The United Nations has shown great attention to women's political rights and intensified its international efforts to protect, promote and internationalize these rights. These efforts have formed many international conventions and conferences that focus on the equality of women with men, as well as the necessity for women to enjoy their human rights. As a result, they put in place a set of guarantees, obligations, and international mechanisms to empower, protect their rights and promote them, However, one can note that there is a huge gap between the international trends and the reality of women's political empowerment. Therefore, It is necessary to obtain societal and political help to support women's access to decision-making positions in their countries. In addition, to focus on women's actual practice of their rights based on the international conventions not only in the local laws. | ||
