Toolbox for local governments to strengthen political participation with an intersectional perspective
This toolbox aims to support local governments in strengthening political participation from an intersectional point of view. It guides readers to understand how different socio-economic, political, cultural, and gendered dynamics can affect people’s ability to partake in political activities, and proposes practical approaches to integrating intersectionality into public policy processes.
The toolbox achieves this by:
a) exploring the concept of intersectionality and providing examples of how different social dynamics affect participation;
b) demonstrating case studies, best practices, and frameworks promoting
participation in the local governance arena, and
c) using research, empirical evidence, and practical examples of tools for scaling up best practices and adapting these in new contexts.
