The Maldives was elected as a member of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women for the 2026-2030 term, with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu calling it a great honour. The article notes the country's gender equality progress, including the Gender Equality Act, while stating women held only 5% of parliamentary seats as of February 2024.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.

As of February 2024, women held only 5% of parliamentary seats in the Maldives, underscoring the need for continued efforts toward political inclusivity.
