Political Parties (general)
In many countries, political parties have individual strategies for enhancing the role of women in the political sphere, for example training or applying voluntary quotas for women’s nomination.

In others, national-level women’s political parties exist to focus on gender-specific issues that the mainstream parties have been reluctant to address.
