Panel 1

Steps of Representation – Political Empowerment of Women

Theme 01 11:0012:00

Women remain underrepresented in political decision-making due to cultural norms, institutional barriers, and limited access to political networks. This panel will explore practical strategies and structural reforms needed to ensure meaningful representation at all levels of governance. Participants will discuss how policies, mentorship programs, and international cooperation can create sustainable pathways for women into positions of power, ensuring that their voices not only participate but actively shape the political agenda.
