Liberal International is proud to share the 2022 Liberal International Gender Equality Report. This report presents the findings of the 2022 Women in Political Parties Index, the first of its kind tool developed by Liberal International to assist our membership in evaluating and improving their inclusivity as political parties.

For many years, Liberal International has advocated for women in politics. Today, LI opens our call for responses to the 2022 Women in Political Parties Index (WIPP Index). Using an online platform, this first-of-its-kind tool is designed to assist LI member parties in boosting inclusivity within their party structures and to advance the presence of women in politics. The Index is now OPEN to the entire LI membership!

Taking place on the eve of the LI virtual congress administrative session, this report workshop was the culmination of one of the LI Human Rights Committee's most important projects in for 2020. In addition to presenting the results of the survey, this event also engaged participants in a discussion on some of the barriers to achieving female participation in political parties with invited speakers from the liberal family.

Today, we are proud to launch the inaugural Liberal International Gender Equality Report!

In the light of the ongoing COVID19-crisis, Liberal International, in cooperation with the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE Party), the Africa Liberal Network (ALN), the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats (CALD), and the International Federation of Liberal Youth (IFLRY) brought together liberal women from across the world, to exchange views and share experiences of how to thrive as a female politician today.

Liberal International (LI) has gathered liberals at the home of the European Parliament to launch the LI Women in Political Parties Index (WIPP) handbook – the practical best-practice guide to accompany LI’s one-of-a-kind online inclusivity index.
