women candidates

RNZI reports four women vied for a seat in the 19 member parliament but only one, Charmaine Scotty, was elected.

Ms Scotty was the only woman in the last parliament.

Elections are to be held later this year, and the United Nations has held a series of workshops hoping to increase the participation of women.

Ms Hubert says women are more educated than men in Nauru, but both women and men see Parliament as a man's job.
