Quote:Despite eight women being elected in the Solomon Islands' 2024 general elections, their political representation remains low. While legislation requires parties to include 10 per cent female candidates, there are loopholes that limit its impact with only four of the 13 contesting parties meeting the threshold. There is ongoing discussion of temporary special measures or reserved seats for women in provincial assemblies to alleviate this representation gap.
