Powering the Future of Women in Politics in Europe

Did you know that the 27 countries led by women today are all at peace? That’s no coincidence. When women lead, democracies grow stronger, trust in government rises, and corruption falls. Women leaders build bridges, amplify diverse voices, and drive inclusive progress.

Yet representation is stalling. The gender gap persists, even in Europe.

Enter ELECTA — Europe’s first training built to help women win elections.

Join us for the official launch of ELECTA, a groundbreaking initiative offering female political candidates a one-week intensive training led by top campaign strategists and political experts.

Hear from trailblazing female politicians, campaign pros, and the first cohort of ELECTA participants as they share what it really takes to succeed — and how this program is changing the game.

Because when women win, democracy wins.
