Women鈥檚 Political Networks: Defining Leadership, Breaking Barriers, and Fostering Change

This paper seeks to understand the impact women鈥檚 political networks have globally in supporting women overcome the universal cultural and structural barriers they face in engaging in a political career. With best practices from national, regional and international networks, this paper explores the role and modus operandi networks have adopted in supporting women running for national office in congressional or parliamentary elections, enhancing their effectiveness and shaping their leadership once in office. Through desk research of existing literature, interviews with women engaged in national politics and experts in this field, this paper also seeks to raise questions on the role of technology, the media and the correlation between women鈥檚 participation in networks and their substantive representation.
