Gender Mainstreaming Guide for Political Parties

Across the world, democracy is strongest
when all voices are heard and valued. Yet, too
often, women’s voices are silenced, sidelined,
or excluded from the very spaces where
decisions that shape their lives are made.
Political parties, as engines of leadership and
governance, must be at the forefront of
dismantling these barriers and opening
doors for women to lead, influence, and
transform society.
This Gender Mainstreaming Guide for
Political Parties is more than a manual—it is a
call to action. It challenges parties to go
beyond rhetoric and take bold, deliberate
steps toward equality. Gender
mainstreaming is not an option or a favour to
women; it is a democratic imperative and a
justice issue. By embracing inclusivity,
political parties not only strengthen their
own legitimacy but also nurture movements
that reflect the true aspirations of the people
they serve.
