- Christina Alnevall, a senior expert at the Department for Policy Analysis and Monitoring at the Swedish Gender Equality Agency (Jämställdhetsmyndigheten).
- Ainhoa Novo Arbona is from the Political Science Department at the University of Basque Country. Her research concerns gender studies, gender representation and quota (Spain and comparative) and federalism. She coordinates the doctoral programme in feminist and gender studies in UPV/EHU.
The research
‘Anyone still wanting to enter politics?’ shows that aspiring female politicians who witness violence may be discouraged from entering politics. This may lead to further underrepresentation of women in politics.
