Equality of women and men in local life

The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) has released the first infographics showcasing critical insights from their latest report, "Women in Politics."
 
The data offer a visual snapshot of the representation of women in elected roles across various subnational levels. Additionally, a detailed breakdown of their portfolios at the local level is provided. The second page of the infographics unveils the results of an anonymous CEMR survey involving 2 424 participants from 31 countries. Focused on elected women in local and regional European roles, the survey explores their experiences of violence in the political realm.
 
Annelies Coessens CEMR Gender and Diversity Officer states the importance of the report findings: "This evidence-based data will contribute valuable insights to discussions and be an important instrument to advocate for improved policies that can foster safer and a more inclusive political environment for women".
