WILLS OBREGON, María Emma  and  CARDOZO GARCIA, Florentina. COLOMBIAN POLITICAL PARTIES AND WOMEN´S REPRESENTATION 1990-2006: A DEEP OR A SHALLOW COMMITMENT?. colomb.int. [online]. 2010, n.71, pp.127-149. ISSN 0121-5612.

Do parties, which proclaim a gender equity commitment, translate such commitment by including quotas for women in their electoral lists and directorate? Do they have financial funds and political training policies expressly directed towards women? As the Colombian case shows, parties are complex and contradictory organizations, which can at the programmatic level express a deep commitment towards gender equity and at other levels, react with hostility against women quotas and exclusionary policies.

Keywords : parties; gender commitment; women's political inclusion.
