@Winnie_Byanyima The process of decision making and outcomes changes when women participate in politics. Women bring priorities that males may not bring up such as children rights, gender based violence, sexual reproductive health rights, inclusions of persons with disabilities.

@Winnie_Byanyima sharing her thoughts - We are not moving fast enough for more women political participation. The pace is slow, we need to accelerate it. How far can we wait. #F4GC

@PreetKGillMP A Girl cannot participate in School if she does not eat food and experiences violence's. Toxic masculinity must stop. There is urgent need for gender lens for the British Development Program. #F4GC

@PreetKGillMP sharing her thoughts. The UN Women has said that it will get up to the year 2152 before we reach gender priorities. Women and Girls need actions beyond words of commitment. Women political participation is an important issue. #F4GC

The women political participation session is live @forum_4GC. Panelists are @PreetKGillMP @rainasow @Winnie_Byanyima #F4GC

@rainasow The African Union developed the Maputo protocol in 2003 for women rights. Beyond political participation, quotas are also needed in the private sector.

@rainasow sharing her thoughts. Women need to be where decisions are made. Decision making processes has been seen as a men job. Quotas should be a temporary measure for women political participation. Over 20 countries have implemented quotas system in Afica. #F4GC #F4GC2022

@rainasow Gender roles at home stereotype women and Girls. Socialization need to be looked into. The world need to stop women in boxes on how they should live their lives, how they should dress, speak and behave. #F4GC #F4GC2022

@PreetKGillMP Access to finance is a critical issue that should be considered for Women participation in politics. Finance should not be preventing Women political participation. Women should be allies of each other. There is still so much that the world need to for women rights.

@Winnie_Byanyima The women in politics, whose interests are they representing? Women are not an homogeneous group - there are urban, rich, ethnic minorities, etcetera. Do the democracies we have allow the different voices of Women to be heard. #F4GC #F4GC2022 #WomensRights #SDGs

@rainasow Everyone should recognize their privileges. Patriarchal is everywhere holding Women and Girls back. Women have to fight in political parties to have a voice. Women go through internal pressure internally and externally. we should all work to end inequality. #F4GC #SDGs

@PreetKGillMP The level of hate and trolling can hold women down in politics. Structural barriers also exist. Irrespective of the challenges, Women should not give up. Challenges should not deter more women to want to participate in politics. Women need to participate in politics
