The underrepresentation of women in politics is problematic because the empowerment of women and the development of a society relies on the success of maintaining gender equity.

Infections remain largely understudied and under-reported in national health programs and agencies, and no regional agreement on how they should investigated has been reached. Additionally, though Latin American national health programs have studied the progression of HIV/AIDs, there are large discrepancies amongst countries in how they report STIs. Moreover, national health programs disseminating information about prevention and protection have only managed to

persistence of assumptions and stereotypes that women are intrinsically "communal" or "dependent" and "passive", and therefore, lack the capacity to succeed as leaders.
