Gender equality in political life is one of the mechanisms for achieving general gender equality. Current practice in the world, including Montenegro, testifies to the fact that there is still a significant difference between men and women when it comes to participation in political life. Montenegro has never had a female president of the state or Government, and the number of women who have been at the head of some of the 25 municipalities is extremely small. Lower representation of women in political life, starting from candidate lists to different levels of political decision-making, remains a feature of electoral processes in Montenegro.
The study is part of the project “SPINOFACT 5: Monitoring of the 2022 local elections in Montenegro from the gender perspective”, which is financially supported by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) within the project “Southeastern Europe regional: Enhancing Electoral Integrity” funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
