Women Beyond the Dáil: More Women in Local Government
Literature Item
Author Information:
Abstract:
NWCI commissioned this research as part of our women in leadership work to deepen our understanding of the barriers faced by women in running and getting elected to local office. This research provides us with a clear action plan to address the underrepresentation of women in local politics. This is related to political power, because it wants to show the different elements which affect in the experience of women who want to work in this area. In fact, they want to see Traveller and Roma women, migrant women, working class women and women with disabilities in ministerial positions, chairing boards and leading the discussions at their county & city councils. To truly reflect local communities and their needs, we must improve the gender balance in local government.
