The Liberal International Women in Political Parties inclusivity index and handbook aims to increase the participation of women in political party structures and remove hurdles for them to do so, by gathering best practices from all over the world. Join us in a discussion with political and civil society representatives and activists from Europe and beyond! *Please note that you will be forwarded to a Google Drive sheet.
