Tibetan women has been playing a bigger and higher role in the region's political decision as the number of female civil servants rocketed in the past five years, according to the 9th session of the Tibetan Women's Congress held on July 15.

Tibet has seen the number of female civil servants increasing in the political circle between 2009 and 2013 including in China's national legislature- National People's Congress (NPC) and China's top advisory body-Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

As many as 19,000 Tibetan women are involved in the region's political affairs at present, taking up 34.49 percent of the total civil servants, according to Gyatso Lhamo, vice chairman of the Women's Federation of Tibet.

Of them, 104 are regional delegates of NPC and 130 are representatives of CPPCC, accounting for 23 percent and 21 percent respectively.

Historical materials show law in the old Tibet stipulates explicitly that "no slaves or women could participate in political affairs", depriving women of the rights to get involved in politics and to control their economy.

Since the peaceful liberation in Tibet, great changes have taken place in the region with a series of laws and regulations to improve women's social status in terms of politics, culture, economy, etc.

"Nowadays, more Tibetan women have went into politics to play an unique role in pushing forward the region's political affairs as the number of female civil servants and cadres are nation-widely mounting up," Gyatso Lhamo added.
