Abstract
Years of research has shown that women’s participation in politics is essential for the quality of our democracies. For example, it facilitates women’s direct engagement in public decision-making and ensures better accountability to women, and it helps advance gender equality and affects the range of policy issues that get addressed, as women tend to prioritise health, education and other key development indicators. In other words, women’s leadership is crucial for building strong, sustainable democracies.
