Montenegro: Regional Conference on "Political Participation of Women as Factor of Societal Development "

UNDP Gender Programme Montenegro



UNDP Montenegro is organizing conference on " Political participation of Women as a Factor of Societal Development"
Women face multiple challenges in their involvement in political life generated by patriarchal power, structures and practices, which stereotypically confine women’s role in the private and informal public sphere. In Montenegro,  women currently hold less than 11% of elected parliamentary seats far away of the 19 percent of global average of women in Parliaments.     



This conference will bring together women who are actively involved in advocacy and action for women’s participation in politics and governance ( current, former and aspiring parliamentarians, local government officials, representatives of women’s organisations, activists, political parties and other NGOs and International organizations), regional partners.
