Welcome to the iKNOW Politics E-Discussion Forums page! This feature is designed to engage iKNOW Politics members and experts, as well as women leaders and their supporters around the world in a virtual dialogue on issues essential for the advancement of women in politics. Unlike iKNOW Politics Discussion circles , E-discussion Forums aim to generate knowledge on a global level during week-long interactive discussions that are moderated by the iKNOW Politics team. Every E-Discussion Forum concludes with an E-Discussion Summary, prepared by the iKNOW Politics team, based on the contributions of our participants.

On this page, iKNOW Politics members and users may register for the ongoing E-discussion Forums and read the full content and summaries of previous forums.

Current iKNOW Politics E-Discussion

We are pleased to launch the third iKNOW Politics E-Discussion Forum on Financing Women in Politics to be held from October 22-29, 2008. This E-Discussion will focus on the impact of financing laws on women’s political participation, the role of political parties in removing financial barriers for women candidates, structural challenges facing women in obtaining financial independence in politics, and the fundraising strategies that women use in their political campaigns.
