Women’s Participation in Politics and Decision-Making in Ukraine: Strategy Paper (PDF)


Gender equality in political participation is a fundamental aspect of modern democratic governance. Under international standards, both men and women should have equal rights and opportunities to participate fully in all aspects and at all levels of political processes.

In practice, however, it is often more challenging for women to access and exercise these rights. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the current levels of women’s political participation in Ukraine, to highlight the main challenges women face in accessing political structures, and to suggest strategies for overcoming these challenges.
