Summary/Abstract: The paper looks at whether the concept of new rural governance, allows traditionally marginalized women in the public sphere to participate in communes management. The study are based on the analysis of international literature on this subject and focus on determining the scope of participation in the broadly understood governance of the commune and the possible causes of its limitations. As a conclusion, although women’s participation in commune management has been nominally increasing, it is often limited to participation without real influence and often has an illusory character.
