Women’s power in municipal assemblies is growing!

The KLGI Institute’s research “Overview of the Composition of Municipal Assemblies” sets out the composition and structure of the Municipal Assemblies in the municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo for the 2021–2025 mandate.

The analysis covers two key dimensions: it examines the political and institutional environment and the functioning of the Municipal Assemblies; and it analyses aspects within and between the two mandates, 2017–2021, reflecting changes in age and re-election as well as the gender dimension.

Women’s power in Municipal Assemblies is growing!

56.4%, or 203 of the 360 women, won their seats in competition with men;

36.1%, or 130 women, won their seats through the gender quota;

27 women, or 7.5%, headed the candidate lists of parties represented in the Municipal Assemblies;

1 man won a seat through the gender quota;

Strong women, sustainable local policies!

These data are taken from the KLGI Institute’s report “Overview of the Composition of Municipal Assemblies”, prepared within the framework of the ‘Dialogue for European Municipalities’ (DEM) programme, supported by the Norwegian Embassy in Prishtina.
