Czech Republic: How are the Czech women doing in politics

Source:

While the proportion of women in the post-communist world’s parliaments has been slowly rising, they remain woefully under-represented in high legislative positions and in government than in many Western European countries.

An argument can be made that this is still the case in the new-ish Czech government and parliament:

Number of women in the cabinet: Zero.

Number of women committee chairs in the lower house of Parliament: 3 of 17;
… in the Senate: 1 of 8.
