Campaign for Democracy, running since September 2008, published on 20 May 2009
a Gender Audit Report of Electoral Lists and Political Programmes,
in view of the European elections of 4-7 June 2009.
The Gender Audit looks at
political programmes and electoral lists for the European elections from a
women’s rights perspective. It evaluates the political parties’ commitment to
gender equality in view of the European Parliament elections 2009 and
encourages voters to be involved in European politics.

most political parties do not consider equality between women and men as a key
priority n light of the European elections 2009, despite the strong competence
of the European Union in the area. You are invited to read the whole report here (EN), as well as
