Women’s political participation is crucial for a thriving democracy and more effective governance. Yet, women’s voices are missing from decision-making in every region of the world. With the 30th anniversary of the #BeijingDeclaration approaching, it’s time to reflect on why women are underrepresented in politics and what we can do to close the gap.

Key Questions for women to ask prospective candidates (Part 1): Women's representation in politics and public life Are you committed to making this a misogyny free election, and what action will you take against candidates who express misogyny, including racialised misogyny? How will you ensure that women’s voices are listened to and that policy and legislation truly reflect the needs of women, and that research addresses gaps in data and evidence? Will you commit to 50% female representation in your post-election spokespeople and wider leadership teams? How will you address barriers to women participating in political life, including specific barriers for women of colour, those with caring responsibilities and disabled candidates? #shevotes24 #womenwinelections @SoroptimistSIGBI

Women run a lot of things…it’s time more of us run for public office! 💥 Check out this new campaign from the team Women for Election, a national non-partisan organisation, which draws a link between women’s lived experiences and political readiness. It makes me think ... the women in my life do a LOT of running! I'd love to see some of them put their skills to the best use and run for public office, and make a real difference to our democracy. #IRun #WomenInPolitics #GetElected https://lnkd.in/gRv9p8fU

Today, December 10, marks the end of the #16DaysofActivism campaign and the International Day of Human Rights. In this video, our women beneficiaries shared their vision of a world free from violence against women and girls. As we close the campaign, we ask: what would such a world mean to you? Take action every day to help make it a reality✊ #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGBV

To create safer political spaces for women, governments can’t forget the duty they have to their own members. Having codes of conduct in parliaments is a way to safeguard women politicians from aggressive & violent peers. #NotTheCost #16DaysofActivism #WomenInPolitics https://bit.ly/3CRdwC3
