Beyond Beijing: Rethinking Women’s Political Participation

Club de Madrid and the European Democracy Hub have undertaken this project to take stock of 30 years of women’s political participation and leadership, assessing the progress made while also identifying persistent barriers that hinder women from increasing their role in senior decision-making. The report draws in part on 12 interviews with Members of Club de Madrid, former heads of state and government from Argentina, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Finland, New Zealand, Senegal, Slovenia, and Sweden.

Club de Madrid organised a regional meeting in Montevideo, Uruguay, titled “Transformative Leadership and Inclusive Democracy” at the Spanish Cooperation Training Center (AECID). This meeting gathered leaders from Latin America and Spain, and experts from international organisations to share strategies and experiences to promote inclusive, violence-free democracies.
