Gender and Inclusion

When democracies face a loss of trust and global headwinds, they can only regain initiative by ensuring that all ethnicities, genders, and minority groups are included in political processes.

In 2025, International IDEA is focusing a global advocacy campaign on “Democracy for All”, promoting the political representation and democratic rights of historically excluded groups.

The campaign focuses on the institute’s initiatives with women, LGBTQ+ people, youth, ethnicity and Indigenous Peoples, migrants, displaced persons, and persons with disabilities, especially in the Global South, leveraging our experience both in grassroots communities as well as expertise in research and data analytics.
