Securing Female Voices in Politics

English 90

Being active in politics can be life-threatening for women. The tremendous amount of violence, hate and harassment female politicians face both on- and offline is dangerous and has a deterring effect. Anti-feminism, anti-gender, anti-diversity and sexism are part of the standard toolbox of extremist movements. Securing female voices in politics is important if we want to ensure representative decision-making and inclusive societies.
