ABSTRACT 

This study critically investigates the political representation of women in Tibetan-inhabited regions, with a particular focus on their roles within governmental and party structures across various administrative tiers. Despite the Chinese Communist Party’s rhetorical commitment to gender equality, Tibetan women remain markedly underrepresented in positions of substantive political authority. Utilizing a “division of labour” analytical framework, this research elucidates their systematic relegation to culturally and socially oriented domains which is the case of all women irrespective of ethnicity, while strategic spheres of political decision-making, state security, and ideological governance remain overly male-dominated. The study encompasses one province, twelve prefectures, two prefecture-level cities, one autonomous region, and 89 counties across Tibetan-inhabited regions. The findings substantiate two key hypotheses: (H1) that women are disproportionately assigned to roles that align with conventional gender norms within political institutions, and (H2) that ethnic minorities experience entrenched structural marginalization within China’s political apparatus. This study underscores the imperative for further scholarly inquiry into the intersectionality of gender and ethnicity within China’s political appointment mechanisms, particularly concerning the systemic constraints faced by Tibetan women in achieving higher political office.

Prologue:

The recent film ‘Evolution of Tibetan Democracy in Exile’ showed how deep the ties between Tibet and India run across these two great civilizations. In the film, His Holiness the Dalai Lama recalls how he experienced his tryst with democracy when he visited India in 1956. He saw the Indian Parliament in New Delhi and observed the democratic system including the freedom of speech in person. Reflecting on this, during the latest winter session of the parliament, on 16th December 2024, Shri Tapir Gao, a member of parliament from the state of Arunachal Pradesh laid before the parliament, the need to recognise the Institution of the Dalai Lama and how Beijing already has plans in place for his succession/reincarnation of the 15th Dalai Lama. The fact that Tibet and the Dalai Lama which is a sensitive subject for New Delhi, are being highlighted on such a significant political platform underscores the goodwill, understanding and continued significance of Tibet to India.

It is interesting to note the Indian Parliament was among the first legislative bodies to deliberate and raise the issue of Tibet in their halls when China under the Communist regime began illegally occupying it since its establishment as the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from 1949 onwards. Recently from 25th November onwards, I had the privilege of engaging on Tibet with several members of the Indian Parliament through the Tibet Advocacy Alliance – India. This engagement culminated in the seminar on China’s Colonial Boarding Schools in Tibet: Reshaping Social and Cultural Landscape by Dr. Gyal Lo on 29th November, who has first-hand experience on this subject as he studied and taught in Tibet.
