Governance and Participation in Public Life

We work to ensure that women fully and equally participate in leadership and decision-making and benefit from gender-responsive governance. Strategic priorities are as follows:

1. Supporting all women to participate fully in leadership and decision-making, before, during, and after elections
2. Working with Independent Commissions and Political Parties to create a violence-free political and elections environment
3. Supporting the drafting and implementation of legal and policy reform to achieve 50/50 gender balance in leadership and decision-making at all levels
4. Movement building on the gender equality agenda
5. Increase women’s positive representation, coverage, and portrayal in the media
