Dancing to the Tunes of Democracy: women and political party agendas

How far are political parties in Uganda implementing commitments to include women and how do they deal with gender issues in their party agendas? Forum for Women in Democracy (FOWODE) commissioned a study in 2007 to analyse gender issues in political party agendas in Uganda. “Dancing to the tunes of Democracy: women and political party agendas” finds that despite the modest commitments to women and gender issues by all leading political parties, they have not done enough to ensure effective women representation in their structures and gender mainstreaming. The study notes that women’s issues and commitments in political parties were “were lost in the mainstream”. Based on the study, FOWODE suggest how to enhance the visibility of women in male-dominated political parties as Uganda prepares for the 2011 elections.
