Aside from that, there is a limit: the stigma of women in politics is only significant as a background player. Existing regulations are formalities; each party has its own method of conditioning existing regulations. There must be firmness in the system of 30% quotas for women, or even better, a strategic way for them to want to participate in the elections of 2024 and beyond.
