The Effect of Violence on Women’s Electoral and Political Participation in Bangladesh
Women in Bangladesh are uniquely impacted by pervasive violence in the country’s electoral process. To explore the effect of electoral violence on women’s participation, IFES convened seven focus groups of Bangladeshi women in 2013 and 2015 to discuss electoral violence they have experienced in the home and public sphere. The findings seek to contribute to a more holistic and human-centered approach to electoral security that covers all phases and activities of the electoral process and adheres to the spirit of international standards and norms governing elections.

Ghana experiments with civic education
“Ghana Experiments with Civic Education” is an article by Fred Hayward featured in Africa Report in the May 1971 edition. Hayward discusses the origins of the Center for Civic Education and stresses its importance to Ghana’s commitment to just government. The CCE, Hayward reports, is committed to honest, efficient, democratic government and emphasizes the role of the citizen in the democratic political system. Hayward argues it is imperative that the CCE remain a non-partisan agency and refers to it as an “innovative experiment in civic education.”
