Female students are especially attracted to bachelor's level education in "Social work", "Journalism", "Teacher training” and "Nursing" as well as "Language, Literature and Media" (Poppel, M. and Chemnitz Kleist 2009:346). Women's representation increased sharply in the 2002 Parliamentary election: from 19% to 36% (12 out of 31 members). At this election "Arnat partiiat"143 (the Women's party) for the first - and until now only - time participated. No candidates from the Women's party were elected but the party succeeded in calling attention to different aspects of gender inequalities and not least to the lack of female candidates in the different parties (Poppel, M. 2009).
