Subject Women's rights. Significance In a landmark decision, Chile’s Congress passed a law on March 4 to ensure gender parity in the body that will draft a new constitution, provided this is approved by a referendum now expected to be held on October 25. Impacts Gender parity would give legitimacy to a constitutional convention at a time of all-time low confidence levels in political institutions. Parity would encourage the emergence of new women leaders among lesser-known academics, politicians and community leaders. The gender parity issue will cause further tensions in the ruling centre-right coalition, which split over the measure.
