“VAW-P damages the political profiles of women, ultimately their success - not only those on the ballot and in political office but also voters, electoral officials, civil society activists - fundamentally all those who are involved in political and public life.“ Ambassador Nancy Soderberg, Senior Country Director, NDI Kosovo |
This document offers practical approaches to identify and challenge cases of violence against women in politics (VAW-P) in Ecuador. Throughout this document, real examples of VAW-P - as established in the Ecuadorian Democracy Code - are presented along with practical exercises to identify and file formal complaints of VAW-P through the legal system. The guide was developed by Ecuadorian civic organization MEGA Mujeres with the support of the National Democratic Institute’s country office.
