The National Democratic Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization working to support and strengthen democratic institutions worldwide through citizen participation, openness and accountability in government.

Women are advancing toward equality and claiming their right to participate in politics.  In 'Stepping it Up' for gender equality we must ensure that women can be politically active without experiencing any form of discrimination, harassment or assault. Violence is NOT the cost of politics.

Join our Global Call to Action to Stop Violence Against Women in Politics.
