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.

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
