WFD is currently implementing a regional programme, Advancing Equal Societies through Women’s Political Leadership and Participation in ASEAN Phase II, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, and Thailand. This programme seeks to advance greater equality in politics and wider society through creating a more enabling environment for women’s political leadership (WPL) and participation. This means an environment where there are more women in politics, where women in politics are better protected from violence, and where women’s issues are better addressed in law and policy.

The programme will work to support the development and strategic analysis of the evidence base on violence against women in politics (VAWP), support identification of viable pathways of change/ entry points for addressing this and other barriers to WPL, support women leaders, advocates and decision-makers to foster political discourse catalysing more assertive responses from law and policy makers with respect to prioritizing and tackling VAWP and other institutional and structural barriers to WPL, and facilitate stakeholders’ efforts to promote and champion more inclusive processes and practices.
