Gender website

International IDEA is about to launch a revised gender website (www.idea.int/gender). The new site will provide up-to-date information on the status of women's political participation world-wide, and act as a means of encouraging partnerships and networks between organizations dedicated to enhancing the political participation of women. In addition to International IDEA's Handbook Women in Parliament: Beyond Numbers, the new website will offer information on a variety of other topics such as the issue of quotas, gender-disaggregated voter statisitcs and web links on world-wide gender legislation.
