What are political systems willing to change to see more women in politics? The real barriers are structural, particularly unequal access to political financing and the rising cost of political participation. If we are serious about inclusive governance, then meaningful reforms are required: • Fair and transparent political finance systems • Reduced cost of contesting elections • Inclusive political party structures Achieving gender equality in politics requires collective commitment. #PoliticalFinanceReform #InclusiveGovernance #GivetoGain #MoneyPolitics

Eid Mubarak 🌙✨ Wishing you peace, joy, and blessings this Eid. May your prayers be accepted and your home be filled with happiness and success. #EidMubarak #PeaceAndJoy #GenCED

Count women. Count marginalized voices. Not money. 🗳️ Monetised primaries silence participation through intimidation and risk especially for women. Let’s build a system where inclusion comes first. #CountHerIn #InclusionNOTMoney #GenderEquality

When politics becomes a marketplace, young women and marginalized voices are priced out. It’s time to shift the system from “who can pay” to “who can lead.” #CountHerIn #InclusionNOTmoney #WomenInPolitics #EqualRepresentation

As we continue our #SheDefends campaign this week, we are taking time to highlight regional and international human rights mechanisms and legal frameworks designed to support and protect women’s rights, as well as the women human rights defenders working to advance them. Take some time to watch our Senior Programs Officer, Walda Keza Shaka, as she explains how to engage with the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa and the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Women in Africa. In this video, she elaborates how these mechanisms can be used by women human rights defenders in practice to advance justice and strengthen their protection. #SheDefends

If candidates can buy delegates, they don’t represent the people they represent the highest bidder. Democracy must reward merit, not money. #CountHerIn #InclusionNOTmoney

Women’s underrepresentation in politics cannot be solved by quotas alone if internal party systems reward money over merit. It’s time to count women and marginalized voices — not money. Democracy must work for everyone, not just those who can afford it. #CountHerIn #InclusionNOTmoney #WomenInPolitics #PoliticalInclusion

@GenCEDgh @mashanubian @Sammens @GenderPerspect1 @IDEGGhana @MoveDemocracy @ECGhanaOfficial @NdcTein @NPP_GH @mwas_2 Very interesting discussion and analysis of the challenges! #Women2Women and #WomenSolidarity can be a game changer. What if women register and vote female candidates? There are many #He4She who'll vote for female candidates

What are political systems willing to give up to gain more women in politics? High campaign costs, unequal political financing & male-dominated party structures continue to push women out, #GiveToGain #InternationalWomensDay #PoliticalFinanceReform

@snorgah @mashanubian @Sammens @GenderPerspect1 @IDEGGhana @MoveDemocracy @ECGhanaOfficial @NdcTein @NPP_GH @mwas_2 Even with that the political system is soo monetized that every voter/delegate thinks it their cocoa season
