Sarajevo Tool for Engaging Male Politicians in Achieving Gender Equality in Politics

The advancement of gender equality aims to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women and men, as well as the just distribution of power and resources. Gender equality should enable both women and men to shape politics, and it is increasingly accepted that politics and decision-making processes should embrace the participation and contribution of the people they affect. To secure truly transformative change towards gender equality, there is now an urgent need to engage male politicians meaningfully in gender equality work, forging more just and equitable political institutions that work for all.

This publication gives a brief overview of the issue and guidance on how to inspire and strengthen the engagement of male politicians in promoting gender equality, with concrete recommendations for action, examples of good practice and further resources.
