🗣️ “Civic space is not closing by accident. It reflects political choices — and it can be reversed.” 🔴 New ENoP & RLS publication: www.enop.eu/publications... 📉 Across the EU, civic space is shrinking — and democratic participation is increasingly hollowed out, restricted, or criminalised.

🚨 When participation comes with threats, democracy is at risk. Across Across the African countries where WYDE Political Parties works, political and digital violence remains a major barrier for women and young people in politics. 🔗 www.enop.eu/wyde

💰 Political participation shouldn’t depend on who can afford it. Across countries were #WYDEPoliticalParties works, unequal access to campaign resources remains a key barrier for women and young political aspirants. 🔗 www.enop.eu/wyde

🧩Who gets a seat at the table inside political parties? Across the African countries where #WYDEPoliticalParties works, women and young people are still excluded from internal party decision-making spaces. This is one of the key barriers we’ll be unpacking in our series on political participation.

📣Inclusive democracy requires inclusive ways of working. Supporting political parties means working across differences, contexts and realities — without leaving anyone behind. That’s why #WYDEPoliticalParties is built on a multi-layered approach.
