Women in local government

Source: UN Women

The Women in Local Government website is the outcome of a multi-year project undertaken by UN Women to generate knowledge on women’s representation in local government and improve its measurement and monitoring. 

The initiative closes a major data and knowledge gap and supports the realization of women’s equal rights to political participation, and equal share of power between women and men, at all levels of government, as guaranteed in the international normative framework. This work has been generously supported by the Governments of Sweden and Switzerland.
