The FEM-ABLE project, co-funded by the Citizens, Equality, Rights & Values Programme of the European Union, seeks to address the persistent underrepresentation of women in political decision-making across Europe. Spanning Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden, this collaborative initiative aims to promote gender equality in politics by developing evidence-based national strategies and fostering innovative approaches to enhance women’s political participation. The project investigates the root causes of women’s lower political representation and explores ways to support those aspiring to/holding key political positions. Aligned with EU policy initiatives and grounded in academic research, FEM-ABLE emphasises sharing best practices, providing impact assessment tools, and facilitating dialogues with local political parties and national authorities. The Policy Toolkit Report represents a cornerstone of FEM-ABLE’s efforts. It delivers a comprehensive analysis of women’s political participation in Europe, identifying barriers, showcasing successful strategies, and featuring detailed national reports and good practices from partner countries. This resource serves as a practical guide to inspire and empower stakeholders to drive systemic change and foster a more inclusive political landscape. Through collaboration, research, and advocacy, FEM-ABLE aspires to create an equitable political future where women’s voices are equally represented and heard.
