The participation of women leaders in the 2011 General Elections was notably high in St. Lucia, as an unprecedented number stepped forward as contenders. At a time where other countries in the region recently witnessed a decline in the number of women elected, three out of the ten female contenders were successful in gaining their seats, and advancing their roles as leaders in the political sphere. Emma Hippolyte (St. Lucia Labour Party), Alvina Reynolds (St. Lucia Labour Party) and Gail Rigobert (United Workers Party) were elected to represent the people of St. Lucia in this election.
