Overview: The poster breaks down how discriminatory social norms negatively affect women in four key areas, while also offering a pathway forward.
Key Impacts of Discriminatory Social Norms:
| Area | Impact |
|---|---|
| Leadership | The norm that politics is a “male domain” influences and biases the entire political process against women |
| VAWP (Violence Against Women in Politics) | Discriminatory norms drive widespread violence, pushing many women out of public life |
| Unpaid care work | Norms create “time poverty” by placing a disproportionate burden of unpaid care work on women |
The Solution/Path Forward:
| Area | Action |
|---|---|
| Women’s Political Participation | Promoted through social norms change + evidence-based global advocacy, supported by strengthened networks between women, youth, and civil society |
Overall Theme: A diagnostic poster that identifies how social norms harm women across leadership, violence, and care work – and points to multi-stakeholder networks and advocacy as the way to boost women’s political participation.
