WEDO's 50/50 Campaign

The Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) has been working to increase women’s participation and representation in governments around the world through its 50/50 Campaign. Since 2000, when the campaign was first launched, nearly 300 organizations across the world and 18 national and regional campaigns have been launched in support of the cause.

WEDO has recently published two new resources to contribute to the campaign. Getting the Balance Rights in National Cabinets illustrates the gender inequality in governmental cabinets, while Getting the Balance Right in National Parliaments calls attention to successful mechanisms that help achieve gender equality in parliament.
