Women constitution-makers: comparative experiences with representation, participation and influence: first annual Women Constitution-Makers Dialogue, Edinburgh 2019
Résumé
On 24 and 25 October 2019, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) together with the Edinburgh Centre for Constitutional Law (ECCL) and the Political Settlements Research Programme (PSRP) at the University of Edinburgh hosted the inaugural event in a series of forums to be known as the Women Constitution-Makers Dialogue. The series is a networking and peer-to-peer dialogue programme wherein women constitution-makers and comparative constitutional experts can share country-specific constitution-building experiences, knowledge resources and tools, and identify opportunities and obstacles to womens participation and influence from both a country-level and global perspective. The dialogue focuses on women's representation and participation in national constitution-making processes, examines constitutional outcomes from a gender perspective, and considers commonly contested constitutional design choices more broadly.
