We are a society at King's College London aiming to promote and enhance women's leadership and influence in politics. By understanding how society has accommodated or restrained the role of women throughout the years in many parts of the world, we refine knowledge on how to work towards the betterment of women in politics today. By piecing together discussion panels and conferences with women actively involved in politics, we hope to inform and inspire those around us. The Women and Politics team strongly believes that the global community characteristic of the 21st century has everything to gain from furthering women’s rights. Expanding the enormous potential women hold for their societies is of benefit for all, for years to come.
