WOMEN AND POLITICAL CULTURE
Women's involvement in government
decision making is giving significant
political visibility to women's rights
worldwide. Although women are not a
homogeneous group, they tend to be
supporters of other women and have
been instrumental in placing women's
issues and concerns on to the
parliamentary agenda.
• Women’s equal participation and leadership
in political and public life are essential to
achieving the Sustainable Development
Goals by 2030. However, data show that
women are underrepresented at all levels of
decision-making worldwide, and that
achieving gender parity in political life is far
off.
