Few women in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) hold seats in parliament or their country's legislative bodies. This is consistent with findings from the World Bank's gender data portal.

The representation of women in ASEAN countries, such as Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Timor Leste, has not yet reached 50%.

Timor Leste has the highest representation, with 38.5% of parliamentary seats. Singapore follows with 29.5%, slightly above the Philippines at 28%.

Next is Laos with 27.5% and Vietnam with 26.7%. Indonesia has only achieved 20.3%.

The World Bank notes that this representation can include single or lower houses held by women.

"The proportion of seats held by women in Indonesia has increased since 2010. The current figure is similar to the average in lower-middle-income countries," the World Bank wrote.

Brunei Darussalam has the lowest percentage of female representation in ASEAN, with only 9.1%.

Here is a complete list of the proportion of female representation in ASEAN countries in 2020:

1. Timor Leste 38.5%
2. Singapore 29.5%
3. Philippines 28%
4. Laos 27.5%
5. Vietnam 26.7%
6. Indonesia 20.3%
7. Cambodia 20%
8. Myanmar 16.8%
9. Thailand 15.7%
10. Malaysia 14.9%
11. Brunei Darussalam 9.1%
