Rwanda has the highest percentage of parliament seats held by women in the world. Click through for more eye-opening stats.
This is because Rwanda uses a strict quota system that reserves seats for women. See here: http://www.idea.int/publications/wip2/upload/Rwanda.pdf
Also, Rwanda uses a proportional representation (PR) system—party-list (IDEA). PR systems, on average, lead to much better representation of women.
