National Conference on Women’s Political Participation and Representation in The Gambia
Source: International IDEA
The persistent underrepresentation of women in The Gambia’s political sphere undermines democratic inclusivity and sustainable development. Women’s perspectives are critical for addressing issues like education, healthcare, and gender-based violence, which disproportionately affect them. This two-day national conference will focus on women’s political participation, providing a timely platform to:
-
Assess progress and gaps since the 2016 democratic transition.
-
Consolidate stakeholder efforts to address systemic barriers.
-
Develop a unified strategy, including policy recommendations and capacity-building initiatives.
-
Inspire a new generation of women leaders to engage in politics.
