Nonetheless, women remain largely under-represented in the political life of the countries in Southeast Europe and well behind the worldwide Nordic leaders, where the proportion of women in parliaments averaged 36.4 per cent in 2000, and even further behind Sweden, which according to UN statistics had the highest share of women in the lower or single house -- 40.4 per cent.
Totusi, femeile sunt in general sub-reprezentate in viata politica a tarilor din sud-estul Europei si cu mult in urma liderilor mondiali in aceasta privinta, care sunt tarile nordice -- unde gradul de reprezentare a femeilor era in medie de 36,4% in 2000; Suedia detine suprematia, cu un procent de 40.4%, potrivit statisticilor ONU.
