In all countries of the world, we witness inequality between women and men in terms of participation in elected bodies, such as legislative assemblies and national and local councils. In general, women’s participation in elections as candidates and their election is at a much lower level than that of men. One of the solutions that has been implemented in many democratic countries to address this inequality has been to consider special quotas for women in elections. These quotas have been implemented in the form of several different models in different countries. In general, the three models for implementing gender quotas are: 1. The model of considering reserved seats for women in elected bodies; 2. The model of legally binding quotas for parties in introducing female candidates; and 3. The model of voluntary quotas for parties in introducing female candidates. In some countries, these quotas have achieved the goal of improving the status of women in elected bodies, but in a number of other countries, the implementation of these quotas has not been very successful. The main question of the research is what model of gender quotas exists in Arab countries and what impact have these quotas had on the presence of women in the legislative assemblies of Arab countries? The present research attempts to examine this mechanism in terms of law and the implementation model in the elected bodies of these countries, focusing on those Arab countries that are members of the Gulf Cooperation Council in which there is a mechanism of electoral gender quotas. This research also examines the consequences of implementing such quotas in these countries and will evaluate the extent of their practical success.
