Abstract
In Myanmar, after the 2010 election, women have become more active in the political sector the opportunity for women in governance is increased. Despite the increase, the number of women in Parliament is still extremely low women's political participation is marginalized and largely excluded in Parliament. Even though around half of the population are women, Chin women continue to be under-represented in the political sphere. Women's political participation in the Parliament is almost non-existent in Chin state. The purpose of this research is to address the serious under-representation of women and their obstacles to participate in politics through a case study on political parties in Chin State. Also, it seeks to understand the contemporary situation in Chin State. The main research questions include (1) what are the gender-based recruitment policies applied by CNLD when it recruits a member of Parliament in political parties? (2) How are Chin women's experiences in dealing with normative institution recruitment? The researcher discovers attitude toward gender role are conservative and traditional, and these cultural attitudes of misogyny directly affect women representation in Parliament. Finally, this research draws the conclusion that due to political practice, structural and traditional barriers in Chin state, women are excluded from participation in the public sphere
