The informal and formal barriers to women’s political decision-making still exist, six years before the expiration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Amongst the informal factors we still witness, culture, tradition and religion are being used to water down women’s agency in meaningful participation in political decision-making. This Women’s Day should be a time to reflect on how women influenced some milestone political decisions.
Las barreras informales y formales a la toma de decisiones políticas de las mujeres todavía existen, seis años antes de la expiración de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Entre los factores informales que todavía presenciamos, la cultura, la tradición y la religión se están utilizando para diluir la participación significativa de las mujeres en la toma de decisiones políticas. Este Día de la Mujer debería ser un momento para reflexionar sobre cómo las mujeres influyeron en algunas decisiones políticas importantes.

The Philippines’ Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act seeks to uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples to their ancestral domains. The implementation of the act is complex and demands a thorough evaluation. Mediation and conflict transformation are pivotal, serving as channels for dialogue and negotiations amidst the complex challenges.
The promotion, respect and protection of the Indigenous Cultural Communities’ rights is important to address historical and persistent injustices against these communities. The National Commission on Indigenous Peoples developed a policy known as ‘Eleven (11) Building Blocks of Resilient, Responsive, and Relevant ICCs/IPs’.
Indigenous Peoples constitute between 14 and 17 per cent of the population of the Philippines. In the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, a unique identity is taking shape, known as the Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples.
This Brief complement the use of International IDEA’s publication Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in Constitutions Assessment Tool to enable its use by those working to promote and protect Indigenous rights.
Argentina continúa sorprendiendo políticamente. Javier Milei, un economista con ideología liberal libertario y anarco-capitalista, candidato del movimiento de extrema derecha La Libertad Avanza (LLA), ha generado un terremoto político con su clara victoria en el balotaje del pasado domingo.
El próximo 19 de noviembre, los argentinos elegirán presidente entre Sergio Massa y Javier Milei, quienes proponen dos modelos de país absolutamente opuestos. Los candidatos llegan a la recta final cabeza a cabeza, y la definición todavía es incierta y cambiante.
La primera vuelta presidencial del domingo 22 de octubre además de lo sorpresivo de su resultado no logró definir un ganador para la presidencia, obligando a ir a un balotaje el 19 de noviembre. Aunque no es habitual en nuestro país recurrir a una segunda vuelta para elegir al presidente, tampoco es algo novedoso.
Durante los últimos 6 meses el clima político argentino ha cambiado notoriamente. El ascenso de un nuevo espacio político que obtuvo la victoria en las elecciones primarias de agosto, mantiene en un suspenso de película a la sociedad argentina.
