Gender Equality & Election Management Bodies: A Best Practices Guide
The full participation of women and men in a country's political and decision-making processes as voters, candidates, elected officials and electoral management body (EMB) staff is crucial.

Clearly, major steps still need to be taken before true gender equality is achieved in this arena.
