Although study on violence against women in politics is growing, more information must be gathered to fully comprehend the nature of the issue, particularly from a comparative standpoint. Following a preliminary 2017 conference in Uppsala, Sweden, The Carter Center's Democracy Program and Emory University's Institute for Developing Nations hosted a workshop on violence against women in elections in response to this demand. The workshop was attended by some of the top researchers in this area, including Gabrielle Bardall, Mona Lena Krook, Elin Bjarnegard, and Jennifer Piscopo, as well as officials from groups that address election-related concerns and violence against women more generally. #wajidkhanMP #politics #canadianpolitician #wajidkhanpolitician

1. Political Violence Against
Women

2. Furthermore, it is challenging to observe violence
against women in politics because it frequently occurs in
the private domain.

3. Participants also talked about the roles that various
election stakeholders can play in addressing these issues
and fostering a deeper understanding of women's
experiences as candidates, elected officials, election
officials, voters, and other electoral stakeholders.

4. Canadian Politician Wajid khan in this discussion
covered both the election and human rights arenas.

5. Election observation missions, for instance, can
overcome data collection difficulties by teaching
personnel how to inquire specifically about the exclusion
of women from the electoral process and their
experiences with political violence.

6. Additionally, election observation missions might be
more deliberate about integrating gender
considerations into their recommendations in need
and evaluation reports.

7. At a following Expert Group Meeting on Violence Against
Women in Politics, the Carter Center presented these
reflections and recommendations. In conjunction with
IPU and NDI, UN Women, the Office of the High
Commissioner for Human Rights, and Dubravka imonovi,
the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women,
Its Causes and Consequences, arranged this gathering.

8. Now more than ever, it is imperative that practitioners,
election managers, and observation groups provide
equal attention to the various forms of violence that
harm women and negatively affect their political
participation.
