Welcome manual for women elected municipal officials

Source: EUDEL

This manual seeks to help women during their first time as a politician in their local municipality as it is a tool that will help women elected officials to carry out their role as local elected officials. This manual aims to provide women with support in their roles in the decision-making and public arena, a space fundamentally designed by and for men. It offers certain pointers to help women to embrace and understand political activity as something that, despite generating added difficulties for women, offers unique opportunities to improve their living conditions, to transform those structures and models that relegate them to the background and, consequently, to create a fairer and more equal social model.
