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

We are agreed, as a global community, that women should be more actively involved in agenda-setting and decision-making in politics. But the road from poor representation to truly inclusive politics does not seem to exist beyond words. The question is: How do we change this? How do we prevail upon political parties to go beyond rhetoric to actually nominate and support more women candidates this year? #womeninpolitics #womensparticipation #IWD24
