The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) has released this document, an ODIHR-commissioned study which explores trends in women's political participation across the OSCE region.
Professors Pippa Norris and Mona Lena Krook propose a comprehensive six-step plan to increase women's political participation as political party members, as political decision-makers and as candidates for public office. The Study forms the basis for a newly-launched OSCE/ODIHR project on "Women in Political Parties” that aims to build the capacity of political parties to develop and implement different voluntary measures to enhance women's participation in political parties.
