Notes:
The data in this table has been compiled by the Inter-Parliamentary Union on the basis of information provided by National Parliaments.
Figures correspond to the number of seats currently filled in Parliament. Data in this ranking may change over time based on updates received from Parliaments.
When countries appear at the bottom of the table with no ranking number, it means that data on the number of women in their single or lower parliamentary chambers are temporarily unavailable. This is typically the case when elections have taken place recently and official results have not yet been published. When data on the number of women becomes available, the ranking will be updated accordingly.
South Africa: The figures on the distribution of seats in the Upper House do not include the 36 special rotating delegates appointed on an ad hoc basis, and all percentages given are therefore calculated on the basis of the 54 permanent seats.
