The WIDE+ “Factsheet on Migrant Women in Political and Democratic Life” provides a clear overview of the barriers migrant women face in European politics, alongside initiatives to enhance their participation. It highlights key contributions of migrant women in politics while addressing issues like limited electoral rights, discrimination, online abuse, and media under-representation.

Country-specific factsheets from Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Serbia further illustrate these challenges. These factsheets also features projects such as WE-EMPOWER, which supports migrant women’s political involvement, and offers recommendations like introducing gender quotas, improving access to education, forming migrant councils, and mentorship programmes.

Factsheets are an effective communication tool as they present complex information concisely and accessibly, allowing readers to quickly grasp key points.

Their structured format focuses on essential insights without overwhelming the audience.

By using bullet points, graphics, and summaries, factsheets are visually engaging and improve information retention. Adaptable for various topics and audiences, they are ideal for briefings, educational use, and awareness campaigns where efficient communication is crucial.
