摘要
众所周知，相对于男性而言，女性在公共决策过程中的参与程度很低。在亚太地区绝大多数的政府和地方行政管理部门中，行政首长中女性只有6％，而女议员的比例也仅有18％。
It is common knowledge that women＇s participation in public decision-making is minimal compared to that of men. The under-representation means that the needs and priorities of women are excluded from the decisionmaking process at every level and thus from the development process. The Urban Management Programme sought to redress this by using the city consultation system to solicit the concerns of women and bring them into the decision, planning and implementation phases of city development. The consultations helped lead to a change for the better in women＇s social status, encouraged more women to join in, increased confidence, raised their economic empowerment and gave them a stronger voice in their communities and their homes.
