One of the most effective ways of improving the status and well-being of women is by ensuring their full, equal and effective participation in decision-making at all levels of political, economic and social life. This approach promotes and protects women's human rights while allowing society to benefit from the diverse experiences, talents and capabilities of all its members
Violence against women is pervasive, taking many forms and affecting every society. Whether the context is rape used as a tool of war, sexual slavery, domestic abuse, or female genital mutilation, in all cases, violence against women violates and impairs or nullifies the women's human rights and is an obstacle to the achievement of the objectives of equality, development and peace.
Gender mainstreaming is a strategy to assess the implications for both men and women, of any planned actions, policies or programmes in all areas and at all levels. This approach recognizes the need to take social and economic differences between men and women into account to ensure that proposed policies and programmes have intended and fair results for women and men, boys and girls.
The website on women and men in decision-making gives an insight in the diversion of women and men participating in the decision-making process and taking up leadership positions in European Institutions, the EU Member States, the EEA countries and the applicant countries. The website contains data and indicators that cover decision-making in political, public and juridical and social and economic domains both on European and national level.
Hope this helped you.

As far as I know, some women have problems in decision making. They are sometimes too dependent on men, especially those who have husbands. Women respect Men more than men respect them, perhaps it is influenced by the culture especially in Asia continent where women are taught to be "below" and "protected" by men. Men are the ideal leaders in many organizations and many societies, because people believe men are mentally and physically stronger than women and men are better leaders than women. This situation limits women's right in decision making and women are forced to follow men's orders and suggestions.
It's true that women are more emotional in making decisions, but for those who have already got children of their own, kids are everything. They will sacrifice their own feelings for their children.
